Abstract
Adaptation of Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II to Turkish and investigation of psychometric properties Objective: The purpose of this study was to adapt the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II (PGIS-II) to Turkish and to test validity and reliability of the Turkish version. The original scale consisted of four subscales, namely planfulness, readiness for change, using resources, and intentional behavior. Methods: The sample consisted of 279 students from Ankara University. Besides PGIS-II, Life Satisfaction Scale and Trait Hope Scale were administrated to the participants. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that 4-factor structure of the original scale was acceptable for the Turkish sample. Correlations between PGIS-II and other scales were ranging from 0.20 to 0.55. Internal consistency and test-retest correlation of the scale were 0.91 and 0.80, respectively. Conclusion: It was found that the 4-factor model of the PGIS-II is appropriate for Turkish culture and the scale could be used to measure personal growth initiative.
