先前的研究表明，工作压力是高心理要求和低决策自由度的结合，可能与心血管疾病和其他健康结果的发展有关。 1985年，卡拉塞克推荐了一个标准问卷来衡量心理需求（九个项目）和工作决策纬度（九个项目）。该工具法文版的内部一致性、因子效度、判别效度和一年稳定性在 8263 名白领工人中进行了评估。在一项更大规模的心血管研究中，参与者在工作时间填写了调查问卷。一年后，研究人群的一个亚组再次完成了调查问卷（n = 953）。内部一致性是足够的：对于心理需求，男性为 0.74，女性为 0.73；对于决策自由度，男性为 0.83，女性为 0.81。尽管有些项目在两个因子上的负载较高，但因子分析的结果与理论预期的两个维度一致。心理需求和决策纬度分数的平均值的变化，以及按性别、工作类别和年龄划分的高工作压力发生率的变化，支持了区分有效性。这些结果总体上与英文版本中观察到的结果相当。一年后，心理需求、决策自由度和工作压力处于同一类别的工人比例分别为86.6%、86.1%和75.2%。这些数据证明了法国版心理需求和决策纬度量表的可靠性和有效性。
Previous studies have shown that job strain, a combination of high psychological demands and low decision latitude, may be involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases and other health outcomes. Ln 1985, Karasek recommended a standard questionnaire to measure psychological demands (nine items) and job decision latitude (nine items). The internal consistency, factorial validity, discriminant validity, and 1-year stability of the French version of this instrument were evaluated in a population of 8263 white collar workers. Participants filled out the questionnaire during working hours in the context of a larger cardiovascular study. A subgroup of the study population completed the questionnaire again 1 year later (n = 953). internal consistency was adequate: .74 for men and .73 for women for psychological demands and .83 for men and .81 for women for decision latitude. The results of the factor analysis were consistent with the two dimensions expected from the theory, although some items had high loading on two factors. Variations in the means of psychological demand and decision latitude scores and variations in the prevalence of high job strain by gender, job category, and age support the discriminant validity. These results were generally comparable to those observed with the English version. The percentages of workers remaining, after 1 year, in the same category of psychological demands, decision latitude, and job strain were 86.6, 86.1 and 75.2 % respectively. These data provide evidence of the reliability and validity of the French version of these psychological demand and decision latitude scales.
