The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACES-IV) was developed to evaluate the adaptability and cohesion dimensions in family interactions. The most current version, FACES IV itself, is comprised of six family scales–two balanced and four unbalanced–of 7 items each, making 42 items. The FACES IV Package includes the Family Communication Scale and Family Satisfaction Scale, to round out its Circumplex Model, and making a grand total of 62 items.
Aligning theoretical framework, gathering articles, synthesizing gaps, articulating a clear methodology and data plan, and writing about the theoretical and practical implications of your research are part of our comprehensive dissertation editing services.
