To examine these questionnaires validity and reliability, respectively, content validity and Cronbachs alpha coefficient were applied, for which the Cronbachs alpha coefficient was 0.75.8 and 0.78, respectively. To assess variables under study, regression analysis, independent t - test, and one - way analysis of variance were used.Results
