Data were analyzed in two parts: descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation, Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis). Results: The results showed internal consistency (0.75). = α), retest reliability (r = 0.450 and P <0.01) and coordination of questions were appropriate. Negative (r = 0.576 and P <0.01) showed a positive and significant relationship with the spouse and the results showed a convergent validity between the total score of this scale with the scale. Positive emotional experience towards spouse (r = -0.276 and P <0.01) and family performance (r = -0.711 and P <0.01) There is a significant negative relationship between executive performance and family executive performance. There was a negative and significant relationship (r = -0.671 and P <0.01) which confirms the simultaneous validity. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that this scale consists of eight factors. Also, the correlation of each factor with the total score is significant.
