Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study is to examine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Civic Engagement Scale (Doolittle & Faul, 2013). The sample of this study consisted of 275 undergraduate students. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 14 items and two-dimensional civic engagement model (Attitude and Behavior) was well fit (x²= 167.35, df= 71, RMSEA= .072, GFI= .92, CFI= .93, IFI= .93, and SRMR= .060). The internal consistency reliability coefficients of the scale were .83 for attitude subscale and .85 for behavior subscale. The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .47 to .73. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had high validity and reliability scores.
