Objective: To develop an attitude scale in order to determine the attitudes of individuals towards violence against women. Methods: A question pool of 58 items was created as a result of the literature reviews, interviews with individuals and expert advice. The trial form prepared was applied to 949 people between the age of 15 and 65, who are at least primary school graduates. Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of the scale was found as 0.96, while the result of Bartletts test was found to be 21972.02. As a result of the factor analysis, a scale consisting of two factors and 30 items was obtained. In this two-factor scale, it was determined that the first factor explains 38.2% of the total variance, the second factor explains 9.6% of the total variance, while these two factors together explain 47.9% of the total variance. In the determination of the internal validity of the scale, the upper and lower groups of 27% were assessed with the t-test in independent groups, and it was concluded that the difference was significant. The Cronbachs alpha and the test-re-test reliability method were used for the reliability of the scale, the Cronbachs alpha value was determined as 0.86, and the test-retest correlation coefficient was determined as 0.81. Conclusion: The validity and reliability analyses performed showed that the scale can be applied to female and male individuals between the age of 15 and 65, who are at least primary school graduates.
