OCAS and FCAS loaded on four factors and the factors were named Value of Online Counseling (OC‐V), Discomfort with Online Counseling (OC‐D), Value of Face‐to‐Face Counseling (FC‐V) and Discomfort with Face‐to‐Face Counseling (FC‐D). The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the four dimensional model was well fit (x²=323.61, df=157, p=0.00000, RMSEA=.056, NFI=.94, CFI=.96, IFI=.96, RFI=.92, GFI=.91, and SRMR=.071). Factor loadings ranged from .47 to .88. The internal consistency coefficients of four subscales were .84, .80, .88 and .78. Overall, findings demonstrated that OCAS and FCAS may be used as a valid and reliable instrument in order to assess attitudes toward online counseling and face to face counseling of individuals.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesOnline CounsellingAttitudesValidiyReliabilityScale AdaptationArticle111522
