Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
test-retest reliability of the scale
Time Frame: Retest( later 2 weeks)

Therefore, after the pre-application, the scale will be applied to 400 people within the scope of the calculated sample, and then, two weeks later, at least 50 people will be re-applied from the individuals to whom the same scale was applied.
