Initially, items were formulated for each dimension, and after formulating the initial questions, face validity, content, and reliability (internal consistency) were measured. Results: The results showed that by removing some items, the questionnaire with 28 items and 5 dimensions has significant validity. (Validity of 0.74 in the whole test and 0.68 to 0.95 in the subscales).
