Internal consistency and validity of the scale was tested for 107 females and 183 males from Black Sea Technical University who studied physical education and sport as an elective course. Internal consistency of the scale was .77 - .82 for males; .72 - .86 for females. Zero order and partial correlation analysis supported hierarchical structure of the scale.
