With age of M = 25.63 and SD = 7.2 , and from one type of research with quantitative methodology instrumental design , data were processed in a matrix which was analyzed in SPSS and factor analysis was calculated , the reliability and were correlated between the item and the test. The results demonstrated reliable level of Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .72 which measures the internal consistency of the test values.
