Emphasizing on this point, data waste scale which was used in the present study for data collection. From this aspect, the study was conducted in scanning model. The data collection tool was applied to 81 academicians from Firat and Tunceli Universities. Some of the findings of the study indicate that there is no significant difference between the obtained scale points in terms of gender and that there is a significant difference in favor of the academicians in Tunceli University in terms of the confusion dimension of the scale.
