Özet:

The aim of this research is to review the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Scale of PIV- Personal Values Inventory developed by Roy&Andersen (1996). The study was carried out on 200 university students. In addition, to analyse linguistic equivalence, Turkish and English versions of the scale were applied to 50 university students at different time periods (Turkish version was applied to the same students a week after the English versions were returned), and results were analysed by comparing them to each other, according to the results of paired samples statistics and the t-test the scale has linguistic equivalence. Factor analysis showed that like the original form of the scale, the scale consisted of five factors and factor loadings varied between .40 to .76. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency quotient of the scale was calculated as .63. To analyse criterion validity “Personal Values Inventory-PVI” and “Schwartz Values Inventory”, one of the equivalent scales to PIV, were applied to randomly chosen 50 people at different time periods. Pearson Product Momentum Correlation Analysis was used to determine whether there is a significant relation between the answers for the two scales. The results showed that the sub-dimensions in Personal Values Inventory were parallel to the sub- dimensions in “Schwartz Values Inventory”. Overall results showed that “Personal Values inventory has high reliability and validity” Key words: Values, personal values, validity, reliability, scale
