麦克马斯特家庭评估装置（FAD）的12项一般功能（GF）子量表的信度和效度在此报告。以前已经确定了FAD的心理测量特性，但没有对GF分量表进行独立评估，该分量表在安大略省儿童健康研究（OCHS）中用于测量家庭功能。信度采用Chronbach’s alpha和半裂相关来衡量。通过假设GF分数与OCHS数据集中其他家庭变量之间的关系来评估有效性。结果表明，本研究具有良好的信度，所有的假设都是有效的。GF量表的简便性和易于使用的特点，建议在需要对家庭功能进行全面评估的调查研究中进一步使用它。
The reliability and validity of the 12‐item General Functioning (GF) subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) is reported here. Psychometric properties of the FAD have been previously determined, but no independent assessment has been made of the GF subscale, which was used to measure family functioning in the Ontario Child Health Study (OCHS). Reliability was measured by Chronbach's alpha and split‐half correlation. Validity was assessed by hypothesizing the relationships expected between the GF scores and other family variables included in the OCHS data set. The results indicate good reliability, and all hypotheses of validity were supported. The brevity and ease of administering the GF subscale recommend it for further use in survey research in which a global assessment of family functioning is required.
