Primary outcomes

Voltan-Acar Self-Determination Scale
This scale was developed by Voltan Acar and Öğretmen (2007) to measure individuals' assertiveness levels. The scale contains a total of 28 items: 17 for the shyness dimension and 11 for the assertiveness dimension. It is a six-point Likert scale. The lowest possible score is 28, and the highest is 168. As an individual's score on the scale increases, their level of assertiveness increases.
