Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was</div><div>conducted to examine the construct validity and Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients were calculated to determine</div><div>reliability of As a result of the CFA, the 10 items on one-dimensional structure was not confirmed in adults. It was evaluated</div><div>items of attitudes towards violence according to theoretical and CFA results and was organized adults’ attitudes towards</div><div>violence as two dimensions. It was established 7 items on two-dimensional structure for adults. It was determined good fit in</div><div>accordance with the goodness of fit indexes. They were sufficient for the scale (X2/sd = 2.44, RMSEA=0.067, GFI=0.97,</div><div>CFI=0.98). The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients of the scale was calculated as .80.It is important to determine the</div><div>attitudes of individuals’ towards violence in the prevention of increasing violence in our day. Accordingly, “Attitudes Towards</div><div>Violence Scale in Adults’” is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the attitudes of adults.</div>
