The original scale consisted of four subscales, namely planfulness, readiness for change, using resources, and intentional behavior. Methods: The sample consisted of 279 students from Ankara University. Besides PGIS-II, Life Satisfaction Scale and Trait Hope Scale were administrated to the participants. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that 4-factor structure of the original scale was acceptable for the Turkish sample. Correlations between PGIS-II and other scales were ranging from 0.20 to 0.55. Internal consistency and test-retest correlation of the scale were 0.91 and 0.80, respectively. Conclusion: It was found that the 4-factor model of the PGIS-II is appropriate for Turkish culture and the scale could be used to measure personal growth initiative.en10.5350/DAJPN2013260304info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPersonal Growth Initiative; Reliability; ValidityAdolescent; Adult; Article; Female; Human; Life Satisfaction Scale; Male; Personal Growth Initiative Scale Ii; Psychological Rating Scale; Psychometry; Rating Scale; Reliability; Trait Hope Scale; Turkey (Republic); University Student; Validation StudyArticle2632582662-s2.0-84886664501N/A151000
