Adaptation of Career Adapt-Abilities Scale Short Form (CAAS-SF) to Turkish: Validity and Reliability Study

The aim of this study is to carry out the validity and reliability study of the scale within the scope of adaptation of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale Short Form (CAAS-SF), which is developed for determining career adaptation skills of the individuals, to Turkish. Studies are applied to a research group involving 648 undergraduate students. Item-total point correlation, linguistic equivalence, confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity, validity based on criterion and measurement invariance by gender are examined within the scope of CAAS-SF’s validity studies by taking the developmental steps of the original scale which is adapted into consideration; and, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients are calculated medium and high. The findings obtained show that the Turkish form of CAAS-SF is at the level of validity and reliability for the use of university students
