The purpose of this study was to develop and to validate an instrument for measuring children`s images about their grandparents. The preliminary survey was performed for 300 children in the areas of Seoul, Gyungi, Chungbuk, and Jeonnam. Based on the existing literature related to children`s image about their grandparents, and on opinions gathered from group interviews for children`s feelings and thoughts about their grandparents, 101 items were gathered. From these, 53 questions through a face validity test were composed. 40 questions through Exploratory Factor Analysis were then developed. The main survey which included 40 questions was conducted with 824 children in Seoul, Gyungi, Chugbuk, and Jeonnam. Finally, the contents were categorized into 40 questions of 6 sub-variables. The findings of this study demonstrate that this instrument for measuring children`s images about their grandfathers is a reliable and valid test tool with regard to questions` distribution and discrimination, internal consistency reliability and validity.
