The sample of the study consists of 280 preschool students. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-dimensional model fitted well: RMSEA= .071, CFI= .99, IFI=.99, RFI= .99, SRMR= .044. The internal consistency reliability coefficients of the scale were .96. Also the corrected item-total correlations ranged from .61 to .78. These results demonstrate that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
