After identifying the factors, Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of internal consistency were calculated in order to
check the reliability of the subscales and the whole scale. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
factors of TAST were calculated as .91, .80, and .86 respectively, and the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for the
whole scale was calculated as .89. While the reliability of the 1st factor was considered as ‘excellent’, the reliability
coefficients of the 2nd and 3rd factor, and the whole scale were considered as ‘very good’ (Kline, 2011).
