Abstract

Materials and Methods: In the first stage of the study, 14 items were written that were positive and 11 were reversed, and the Content Validity Rates were determined by Davis technique with 12 field experts. In the second stage, exploratory factor analysis was performed with 247 adolescents. In the third stage, confirmatory factor analysis was done with 323 adolescents and the reliability of the study was examined with Cronbach Alpha and Split Half methods. Reliability and validity studies of the scale were performed with 570 data in total. Results: A two-factor scale with 20 factors, namely “Inner Prosocial” and “External Prosocial”, was obtained from the study. Cronbach Alpha reliability of the scale was found to be 795. Conclusion: Item factor loads of the scale created and the reliability of the scale were obtained at the desired level. The high score obtained from the scale shows that the adolescents have high prosocial tendencies. The scale is suitable for adolescents aged 13 to 18 years old.
