TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF SUFFERING SCALE: A STUDY OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY

The aim of this study was investigate validity and reliability of Turkish version of the Transformative Power of Suffering Scale. A total number of 283 college students (217 female students, 66 male students) participated in this study. The mean age for participants was 22.84 (S = 4.88). The partici...
