Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to examine the validity and reliability of the The Life Engagement Test (Scheier et al., 2006). Participants were 295 university students from Marmara and Sakarya Universities. Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the six items loaded on one factor: x²= 11.50, df= 8, RMSEA= .039, GFI= .99, AGFI= .97, IFI= .99, NFI= .97, NNFI= .98, CFI= .99, RFI= .94 ve SRMR= .032. Factor loadings ranged from .22 to .82 and the corrected item-total correlations ranged from .22 to .60. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient was .74. According to these results it can be argued for that the Life Engagement Test is a valid and reliable instrument.
