Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop the Counselor Attitude Scale for Spirituality in
Counseling. The study group consists of 386 (253 female, 133 male) counselors. The methods
of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses are used to determine the construct
validity of the scale. A single-factor structure consisting of seven items has been obtained
as a result of the exploratory factor analysis. The compatibility the one-dimensional model
has with the data is tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The single-factor model has
been determined to have good fit indexes as a result of the analysis (RMSEA = .04, RMR =
.03, GFI = .98, AGFI = .95, CFI = .99, IFI = .99, NFI = .98). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient has
been calculated as .89 for the reliability analysis of the scale and the test-retest coefficient
as .88; the 27% lower-upper group t values are found to be significant (p .70; as such the scale has
been interpreted as having good reliability (George & Mallery, 2019). The item-total
correlations and lower-upper 27% t-test results from the scale are given in Table 4.
