The adaptation study of the scale was conducted with two separate participant groups. The first group was consisted of 314 (44.4% boy and 55.6% girl) middle school students while the second group included 348 (57.8% boy and 42.2% girl) middle school students. The findings of confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the Turkish form of the scale was composed of 36 items and six sub-dimensions (fairness, order and discipline, parent involvement, sharing of resources, student interpersonal relations, and student-teacher relations). The scale had also evidence for its convergent and discriminant validity. The internal consistency values and test-retest reliability results with a two-week interval for the overall scale and sub-dimensions were also at acceptable levels.
