Özet:

This study investigated the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of the Positive Thinking Skills Scale (Bekhet & Zauszniewski, 2013). The sample of study consists of 295 university students. Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the eight items loaded on one factor (x²= 25.66, df= 19, RMSEA= .035, NFI= .99, NNFI= .99, IFI= 1.00, RFI= .98, CFI= 1.00, GFI= .98, AGFI= .96, SRMR= .027). Internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found as .87. The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .54 to .68. These results demonstrate that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
