The aim of this study is to develop a scale that measures the levels of family life satisfaction (FLS) that individuals perceive. The scale was implemented to 506 individuals. The sample were consisted of 359 child (%70.7) and 147 parents (%29.3). The average age is 27.05. Family life satisfaction is a 23-item likert scale. After running necessary analyses based on the data collected, principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis were conducted to check 23-item scale’s construct validity. According to principal component analysis, one dimensional structure of the scale was observed. It was found that KMO coefficient was estimated .938, and Barlett Sphericity test was found significant (χ²=6134.525, p<.01). Also, item- factor loading were ranged from .53 to .79 and total-item correlations changed between .47 and .73. As criterion validity Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) was used. Pearson Moments Multiplication Correlation coefficient was examined between the scores obtained from the BSI and FLS. The BSI showed a significant relationship between depression dimension r=-.34, p< .01, anxiety dimension r= -.30, p< .01, negative self dimension r= -.30, p< .01, somatization dimension r= -.30, p< .01, hostility dimension r= -.32, p< .01 and FLS. In order to check reliability of the scale, Cronbach alpha score was measured and calculated as .95.
