Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to develop a scale to measure the attitude of young adults about marriage. The participants consist of 696 undergraduate students (384 female and 312 male) which are educating at three different universities in 2013-2014 academic year in Turkey. The age of the participants ranged 18-26 years. To determine the reliability of the scale, Cronbach alpha, test-retest, split-half reliability coefficients were conducted and for construct validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The results showed that Inonu Marriage Attitude Scale (IMAS) was comprised of one factor with a total variance of % 36.77. The reliability of the scale was found between .87 and .90. These findings were discussed in the light of previous studies and suggestions were given to researchers for further studies.
