This research is aimed at study validity and reliability of the Beck and Mc Donald scale "attachment to God" (2004). The method used in this research is the Beck and Mc Donald scale "attachment to God" which has 28 questions and rendered by psychologist and translated by English teaching expert.

To study reliability in a one-week interval, 70 people of subjects were retested via the Beck and Mc Donald scale "attachment to God". Data were evaluated by independent statistical t-test, standard deviation (SD), factor analysis using explorative method (PC), correlation coefficient, and Cronbach alpha coefficient. Thanks to factorial analysis, four factors including attention to God, trust against mistrust, reliance and connection to God were extracted from Beck and Mc Donald scale "attachment to God". Reliability coefficient of this scale was 58% using retesting method. Also, high correlation between mentioned factors with total scale has shown efficiency and adequacy of this scale for scholars, researchers, experts and psychologists in Iran.The Beck and Mc Donald scale "attachment to God" has good reliability and validity for scholars and experts.
