Construct validity was determined using explanatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was ascertained using Cronbachs alpha. The stability was confirmed using intraclass correlation coefficients. The suitability of the data analysis was tested using the Bartlett's chi-square test of sphericity, and the sampling adequacy using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test.Findings: Total Cronbachs alpha was 0.58. 22 question in 3 determined areas explained 42.71 of the total variance. Cumulative variances of all the different subscales were more than 0.5 which showed the credential convergence.
