Abstract :In this study, a measurement tool that evaluates career goal inconsistencies between individuals and parents was adapted into Turkish. The sample group consists of 410 university students, aged between 18 and 31 years. The Discrepancies Between Individual-Set and Parent-Set Career Goals Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DBIPCGS);, Career Stress Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CSS,); and Life Satisfaction Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LCS); were used as data collection tools in the study. The structure of DBIPCGS was tested by confirmatory factor analysis. The model goodness of fit values obtained in confirmatory factor analysis showed that the structure of the scale was confirmed. The internal consistency coefficient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cronbach Alpha); of the scale was calculated as .78 for the ability dimension, .90 for the choice dimension, .92 for the enthusiasm dimension, and .93 for the total score of the scale. As a result of the correlation analysis conducted for the criterion validity, a positive relationship was found between DBIPCGS and the CSS, and a negative relationship with the LCS. As a result, DBIPCGS is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in Turkish culture.
