Objective: The purpose of the present study was to develop the Persian version of Codependency Inventory and assess its reliability and validity. Method: The Persian version of the Co-dependency Inventory was developed using double translation technique and was administered to 430 students (119 males and 311 females) from Kharazmi University of Tehran. The reliability of the Persian version of the Co-dependency Inventory was examined based on internal consistency methods, correlational methods, and test-retest method. In addition, factor analysis, the correlation between sub-scales, and criterion validity were used to assess the scale validity. Results: The Cronbach's alpha range of 0.54 to 0.88 showed that the Persian version of the Co-dependency Inventory and its subscales have a desirable internal consistency. Similarly, the item scores and total scores of the sub-scales had a significant correlation with each other. The value of the test-retest coefficients (0.82-0.88) indicated the stability of the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the 5-factor model of the Co-dependency Inventory. Finally, the existence of specific patterns of correlation coefficients between the subscales of the Persian version and behavioral brain systems and attachment styles indicated the good criterion validity of the scale. Conclusion: The Persian version of Codependency Inventory has desired psychometric features in the Iranian community and can be used in different clinical and research situations.
