We present a family of entanglement measures R_m which act as indicators for separability of n-qubit quantum states into m subsystems for arbitrary 2 \leq m \leq n. The measure R_m vanishes if the state is separable into m subsystems, and for m = n it gives the Meyer-Wallach measure while for m = 2 it reduces, in effect, to the one introduced recently by Love et al. The measures R_m are evaluated explicitly for the GHZ state and the W state (and its modifications, the W_k states) to show that these globally entangled states exhibit rather distinct behaviors under the measures, indicating the utility of the measures R_m for characterizing globally entangled states as well.
