Özet
This research aims to adapt the Career Aspiration Scale-Revised (CAS-R) to undergraduate students in Turkiye. Three studies were conducted for this purpose. In Study I, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed on data obtained from Study Group I (N=300; 179 women and 121 men; MAGE=21.42) to evaluate the construct validity of the scale. The CFA results confirmed the three-factor structure of the CAS-R-Turkish Form-(CAS-R-TF) (leadership, achievement, and education), consistent with the original scale. In Study II, the Criterion-related validity of the subscales of the CAS-R-TF was determined using data collected from Study Group II (N = 305; MAGE =21.32). Significant and positive correlations were found between the CAS-R-TF subscale scores (leadership, achievement, and education) and the subscale scores of the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (CDSES-SF) and the Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS). Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the reliability of Turkish the CAS were calculated as α=.83, .77, and .87 for the leadership, the success, and the education aspiration, respectively. In Study III, CAS-R-TF was applied to Study Group III (N=85) twice with an interval of three weeks. The coefficients of stability for the reliability of the CAS-R-TF were found to be r = .80, .82, and .80 for leadership, achievement, and education aspirations, respectively. The findings indicate that CAS-R-TF is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the career aspirations of undergraduate students in Turkiye. The limitations of the research are stated, and suggestions for future research are presented.
