Family Problem Solving Scale, developed by Ahmadi et al. (2007), is an assessment scale of the problem solving ability of married couples. The purpose of this study was to develop a Japanese version of Family Problem Solving Scale (FPSS) and examine its reliability and validity. A questionnaire survey of 205 married men and women (91 men and 114 women) was conducted. Exploratory Factor analysis found that FPSS was composed of two factors: “Solution orientation” and “Relationship-maintenance orientation”. The Cronbach's alpha of Solution orientation was .92 and Relationship-maintenance orientation was .79. Moreover, the two factors of FPSS was positively correlated with Relationship satisfaction, FACES III for marital couples and Solution achievement. These results indicated that FPSS had good reliability and validity.
