properties of the Turkish version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale IV (FACES
IV) Questionnaire Package, and also to achieve a valid and reliable assessment tool
for the further investigations of the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems
in Turkish culture. A total of 1613 (65.4% female, 34.6% male) university students
agreed to participate in the study. The construct validity of the FACES IV was examined
with confirmatory factor analysis. Also, the convergent validity, criterion-related
validity, internal reliability, and test-retest reliability analyses were examined
within the scope of validity and reliability studies. Findings indicate that Turkish
form of FACES IV can be used as a valid and reliable scale with sufficient psychometric
properties to evaluate the family cohesion, family adaptability, family communication,
family satisfaction, and the family functioning as a whole in Turkish culture.  </span> <br /> </p> <b> <i> </i> </b>}, number={4}, publisher={İzzet KARA}
