Abstract: The types of behaviour women in Turkey perceive in their marital union as violence was attempted to be determined by "Women's Violence Perception Scale- WVPS†which was developed in this study. According to the data obtained from this scale, which reveals the perception of domestic violence, the perceptions of violence of the study group and their sensitivity to violence were found to be very high. With convenience sampling, 510 participants were reached through social media accounts of various women's organizations. On the other hand, as a result of the reliability calculation of the scale, the alpha value was found to be 0.98. It is seen that WVPS explains a very high rate of 83.91% of total variance. As a result of the factor analysis, it was revealed that the scale consists of 5 dimensions: physical, sexual, psychological, verbal and economic violence. By applying the Confirmatory Factor to the scale, the five-dimensional structure obtained by exploratory factor analysis was tested. In addition to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis results, the fit indices obtained with the Exploratory Factor Analysis results were at the desired levels. With this study, it was revealed that the Women's Violence Perception Scale was reliable and valid.
