The results of the analysis show that the APRS developed to measure the quality of relationship between adolescents and their parents and the SRS developed to measure the quality of relationship between adolescents and their siblings were valid and reliable scales. The validity of APRS and SRS were tested via explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses and the reliability were tested via Cronbach Alpha and split half method.
