目的：SF-36是国际认可的用于评估主观健康的工具。在其第二个版本中，SF-36在几个项目的提法和响应类别中包含对版本1.0的修改。方法：以具有代表性的德语样本(n=2043)为样本，对SF-36的量表结构、信度、传播特征和人群特征进行分析，并与1.0版(德国健康调查)进行比较。结果：2.0版具有较高的分量表信度，其量表结构与1.0版相当。实际人群代表性抽样调查的量表数值呈斜率分布，在回归分析中发现性别、年龄和居住地(东德/西德)的影响。结论：两个版本的心理测量学具有可比性，但由于调查时间的不同，在内容上应谨慎解读。虽然2.0版在心理测量质量和对1.0版的歧视方面的预期收益是显而易见的，但这并不能证明偏爱2.0版是合理的。
Objectives: The SF-36 is an internationally approved instrument to assess subjective health. In its second version the SF-36 contains modifications to version 1.0 in several item formulations and response categories. The second version is translated in German but a psychometric analysis and standardisation are still lacking.Methods: The SF-36, version 2.0, was administered in a representative German sample (n = 2043), analysed concerning its scale structure, reliability, dissemination characteristics and differences in traits of populations and compared to version 1.0 (German health survey).Results: Version 2.0 shows high reliability in subscales and has a scale structure which is comparable to that of version 1.0. The scale values in the actual population-representative sample survey are rather distributed obliquely and effects of sex, age and residence (Eastern/Western Germany) have been found in regression analyses.Conclusion: The psychometric comparability of both versions is given but should interpreted with caution as regards content because of the different enquiry periods. Though the expected gain in psychometric quality and discrimination of version 2.0 to version 1.0 is evident, but does not justify a preference to version 2.0.
