THE ADAPTATION OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL COMPETENCE SCALE TO TURKISH: THE STUDY OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY

The aim of this research is to adapt the Perceived Social Competence Scale (Anderson-Butcher, Iachini, & Amorose, 2007) to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The research was conducted on 444 high school students in Sakarya, Turkey. The validity and reliability of scale was inve...
