abstract="This study investigates the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale (ACVS). The data of research has been attained from 474 (M =243, F=231) high school students who were attending 1st, 2nd and 3th class and coming from middle socio-economic levels in Malatya. Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale has 11 items, Likert type and 4 point response format. The construct validity of ACVS was conducted by using exploratory factor analysis and varimax rotation. Single independent factor with the eigen value over 1.00 has been found. This factor explained 44% of total variance. To test concurrent validity, correlations between scores on ACVS and Aggressiveness Questionnaire were calculated. There was asignificant relationship between scores on the two scales (r= .61). Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found “.87”; test-retest correlation coefficient was “r=.80”.Item-total correlation co-efficiencies vary between “.52” and “.71”. Findings show thatACVS can be used with acceptable level of validity and reliability for high school students.<p />",
