<jats:p> One of the required tools in family-related studies is the maternal role acceptance questionnaire. The current wealth of knowledge in this regard shows that most of the family-related questionnaires have not specifically addressed the role of mothering or acceptance of this role, and no questionnaire is available on this subject. Therefore, the need for a psychometric assessment of motherhood acceptance is useful and essential. The purpose of the research was to identify the psychometric traits of the motherhood acceptance scale and its relationship with psychological capital. The sample of this study consisted of 1735 married women aged between 18 and 40 years in Isfahan who were selected based on virtual snowball sampling. They responded to a researcher-made questionnaire on the acceptance of a mother role whose content validity was confirmed by experts and psychologists. The tool of this research is the Luthans Psychological Capital Inventory (2007), which consists of 24 questions and 4 subscales. The results showed that Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole questionnaire was 0.87 and for each of the five components of the scale: individual interaction, social and emotional support, individual attitudes, beliefs and values, and individual characteristics were 0.63, 0.64, 0.70, 0.49, and 0.71, respectively, which indicates the high reliability of the test made by the researcher for motherhood role acceptance scale. </jats:p>
