Hence, it is usually considered as a principal variable to be studied in many researches conducted in the field of agricultural extension or gender issues in agriculture. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to develop a useful instrument to measure the attitude of rural women towards mixed farming as part of a research on "Participation of rural women in mixed farming in Iran". The scale was developed by using Likert's technique of summated rating method. The final format of the scale consisted of 20 statements selected based on "t" value obtained for each item as an index of discrimination, "Alpha coefficient" obtained for each item and different sets of items as index of internal consistency, relevancy score obtained based on judge's opinion at the initial step of scale development called as "content validity", representative ness of different dimensions and corrected item-total correlation for each item. The developed scale was subjected to split-half method of reliability, which indicated of the scale. The scale was also tested for validity by using content validity and criterion-related validity. Both of these methods showed a high level of validity a high reliability of the scale. The scale could be applied in other areas if it is proved to be reliable based on additional checks.
