The social and environmental characteristics of families have measured by this scale. The main objective of the present study was to construct a Family Environment Scale including eight dimensions to measure the Family Environment of the college students. It is very important to ensure validity and reliability of the scale. The draft scale was administered on a sample of 120 students for item analysis. The scale was prepared in two versions – in English and Assamese languages. This Scale includes 64 statements. The Concurrent Validity of the Scale was estimated by correlating the set of scores with that obtained from administering the Family Environment Scale developed by Bhatia & Chadha (2012) and was found to be .66. The split-half reliabilities of Assamese and English versions of the scale were found to be .86 and .88 respectively. ER -
