The aim of this study is to provide evidence to support the measurement of psychological concepts of family functioning in Slovakia. The first objective was to verify the psychometric properties of two scales assessing family quality of life and family satisfaction: the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale (BFQOLS) and the Family APGAR in people from a standard population (without disabilities). The second objective was to determine the relationship between family quality of life and family satisfaction with life satisfaction, self-esteem, income, and socio-economic status. The sample of participants comprised 499 adult respondents from Slovakia, 250 men and 249 women aged 18–60 years. In addition to the BFQOLS and the Family APGAR, scales were used to measure socioeconomic status, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life. As the results indicate, the factor structure of scales with acceptable fit indices was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis. The scales showed good reliability and further analyses appear to support convergent and discriminatory validity of the scales. Based on the results obtained, the Slovak translation of the scales can be recommended for further verification and use in the standard population (without disabilities)
