Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Korea Family Strengths Scale II (KFSS-II) which was modified and developed by Yoo(2004). For this purpose, the preliminary scale of family strengths which was based on Yoo(2004)'s sample survey that targeted 494 adults who live in Korea consisted of 30 items. Exploratory factor analysis of 29 items extracted 5 factors. It included the 5 dimensional constructs of family resilience, valuing each other & acceptance, qualitative bonding, economic stability and cooperation and caring about community. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the stepwise 5-factor model of 22 items considering family strengths. These results indicated that the simple template of Family Strengths Scale would be a concise and reliable tool for assessing and evaluating a family's strengths.
