Initially consisting of 35 items, the item pool wasreduced to 21 items after expert review and pilot testing. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out on the data. In addition, composite reliability and average variance extracted values of thescale and its subdimensions were calculated. Results: Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors: positiveattitude, voluntarism and contribution, and concerns and limitations. Reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach’s alphavalues for all subscales were greater than 0.70, indicating highinternal consistency.
