The research is implemented with 1^st and 3^rd grade 450 students from seven departments of various colleges of Hacettepe University. OSIVQ is a three dimensional questionnaire, consists of 45 items. Expert opinions were obtained for the content validity of the OSIVQ. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used by trying the 3 models within the construct validity analysis. The most satisfactory goodness of fit indices was obtained by the “correlated three dimensional model”. Model has showed perfect fit after the modifications [χ² (853, n=450)= 2388.32, p<0.000, RMSEA=0.063, GFI= 0.80, CFI= 0.91, NNFI= 0.091]. Cronbach Alpha value.829 has been determined.
