The results of factor analysis of the Pride Questionnaire indicated that the reliability of the two components of Authentic and Heuristic pride was 0.88 and 0.90. Results obtained confirmed the reliability of questionnaire. Results of behavior questionnaire factor analysis indicated that questionnaire has acceptable relevance.
