Özet:

The aim of this research is to adapt Turkish version of the Short Grit Scale (R-GS; Duckworth & Quinn, 2009) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The sample of study consists of 310 high school students (Female: 216; Male: 94) from Istanbul and Kocaeli in Turkey. The total variance explained was 47.57% and factor loadings ranged from .58 to .74. Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the 8 items loaded on two factors (x²= 40.34, df= 19, RMSEA= .060, NNFI= .90, IFI= .94, CFI= .93, GFI= .97, AGFI= .94, SRMR= .059). The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .31 to .46. These results demonstrate that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
