Objectives The purpose of this study was to validate the Six Realms Samsara Scale(SRSS) developed by Yung- Sook Song(Seo Kwang) in 2016 to measure the emotional psychological state in which one mainly resides among the six psychological domains interpreted from a psychological perspective.
 Methods Based on the literature review, the existing SRSS 24 items were revised and supplemented to 38 questions, and content validity was verified by three Ph.D.s in Buddhist psychology. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 247 adults, and 18 questions were confirmed. To verify the validity of the confirmed scale, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on 206 adults and convergent validity and reliability were confirmed. SPSS 29.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs were used for statistical analysis.
 Results First, 6 factors and 18 questions were confirmed through exploratory factor analysis. Second, as a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the Fit indices was good, confirming the validity of the six factors, and the Average Variance Extracted value was calculated to be greater than the square value of the correlation coefficient, confirming the convergent and discriminant validity of the structural equation model. Third, to confirm convergent validity, positive correlation was confirmed by analyzing the correlation between each subfactor and six scales measuring similar constructs. Lastly, as a result of the reliability analysis, the internal consistency of the items was adequate.
 Conclusions In this study, by validating the SRSS, we confirmed the reliability and validity of measuring the emotional psychological state in which one mainly resides among the six realms of paths. It is expected that the SRSS can be use as a useful tool in counseling settings to lay the foundation for clients to objectively understand and accept the current psychological state of the six paths.
