The objective of this study is to develop an attitude scale to determine adults’ level of motivation and their tendencies. As a result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the scale made of two factors and 21 items was obtained. 27% top and bottom groups were evaluated with ‘independent group t test’ and it was concluded that the difference was statistically significant. Validity and reliability analyses applied have revealed that the scale can be applied to female and male individuals who are at least primary school graduates and between the ages of 20-60.
