Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study is to examine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Adolescent Life Goal Profile Scale (Gabrielsen, Ulleberg, & Watten, 2012). The sample of this study consisted of 263 high school students. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 16 items and four-dimensional life goal model (Relations, Generativity, Religion and Achievements) was well fit (x²= 165.76, df= 91, RMSEA= .056, GFI= .93, CFI= .91, IFI= .92, and SRMR= .055, for perceived importance scale; x²= 167.54, df= 94, RMSEA= .054, GFI= .93 and SRMR= .056, for perceived attainability scale). For perceived importance scale the internal consistency reliability coefficients of the scale were .65 for relations subscale, .65 for generativity subscale, .61 for religion subscale, .50 for achievements subscale, and .76 for overall scale. For perceived attainability scale the internal consistency reliability coefficients of the scale were .57 for relations subscale, .70 for generativity subscale, .55 for religion subscale, .59 for achievements subscale, and .81 for overall scale.
