Abstract

The present research aims at assessing the reliability and validity of the revised edition of the initial scale for family efficiency based on Islamic sources. It is of correlation research type wherein 590 subjects were selected through random cluster sampling. The participants completed the scale of assessing family efficiency based on Islamic sources. Here, we used factor analysis to assess the validity of the scale.
The factor analysis of the findings showed that the revised form of the Islamic scale for family efficiency contains eight factors including: 1. Observing one’s rights, 2. Satisfaction and growth, 3. Emotional and verbal relation, 4. religious thought, 5. Taking on responsibility and cooperation, 6. Religious behavior, 7. Trust and forgiveness, and 8. Truthfulness. To assess the reliability of the scale, we assessed internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha. The reliability was at 0.96. Based on the findings of the research, we may say that the questionnare enjoys a high reliability and validity, and consistent factors are obtained through it. Accordingly, one may use it to investigate the family efficiency based on Islamic sources in future studies.
