Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to determine university students' expectations about counseling. The sample of the study consists of 344 university students (231 women-113 men), who are studying at Ege University. During the scale development process, a draft form with 85 items has been formed based on the literature review. Explanatory factor analysis using varimax rotation has resulted in a four factor structure with 23 items.  The four factor structure of the scale has been tested by confirmatory factor analysis and the results have verified the factor structure of the scale. Item-total regression values and Cronbach Alpha coefficients have been calculated to examine the reliability of the scale. In conclusion, the results of this study have provided preliminary support for the psychometric properties of the Expectations about Counseling Scale and the scale can be used for measuring university students' expectations regarding psychological counseling support.
