For selection of students in the research group, a maximum diversity sampling method was used. As a result of the analysis, the AAS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19-item); was found to have a three-dimensional structure with seven components. These dimensions were; Neccesity, Obligation, and Responsibility. According to the results of EFA, explained variance of the AAS was 53.97%. In the analysis for the three factors; it was observed that the first factor’s contribution to the common variance was 18.51%, the second’s was 17.88%, and the third’s was  17.58%. On the other hand according to the results of second-order CFA, the goodness of fit index of the model was found to be high insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RMSEA: 0.06 SRMR: 0.046, AGFI:0.91, NFI: 0.97, CFI: 0.98);. The Cronbach alpha value for the reliability of the AAS was found to be .91 and the Guttman Split Half value was found to be .88.
