Özet

This study validated the Couple Communication Satisfaction Scale (CCSS) in Türkiye through two studies with distinctsamples. Study I (N = 371, mean age = 27.56) examined factorial validity, reliability, item response theory, and measurementinvariance, confirming an 11‐item, five‐factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis with acceptable internal consistency.Study II (N = 482, mean age = 29.24) tested structural relations among family communication, dyadic trust, and relationshipsatisfaction using structural equation modeling, revealing that family communication positively predicted dyadic trust andcouple communication satisfaction, which in turn predicted higher relationship satisfaction. Overall, findings indicate that theCCSS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing couple communication satisfaction in the Turkish cultural context.
