Abstract
A principal components analysis of the Family Environment Scale (FES) was performed on a sample of 113 university undergraduates. Although t he FES is extensively used to assess family environment, little resear ch has investigated the empirical combination of FES subscales into co mposites. Results supported three broad components encompassing the 10 FES subscales; these components replicated previous findings in other samples. The similarity of results across these groups supports gener alization of the FES components to college samples.
