The scale is composed of 27 items, with a one-dimensional distribution of family satisfaction. The sample consisted of 379 participants, all of whom belonged to families with children in 4th grade. Two further subsamples were extracted from the general sample: forty participants were randomly selected and 38 were selected according to their symptoms of mental illness. Results show the adequate psychometric characteristics of the adapted scale (reliability, factor and discriminating validity) and provide evidence which maintains the original one-dimensionality.   a1134-7937  a2174-0437
