The reliability and validity of the General Functioning (GF) Scale of the Chinese version of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) were examined in three studies. In Study 1, data based on 361 adolescents showed that the GF scale was temporally stable and internally consistent, and there was support for its concurrent and construct validities. In Study 2, data analyzed from a clinical group and a nonclinical group (N = 281 and 451, respectively) showed that the GF scores were able to discriminate these two groups. With data pertaining to 3649 secondary-school students, Study 3 gives support for the internal consistency, concurrent validity, and construct validity of the GF scale in different adolescent samples. These studies strongly suggest that the GF scale of the FAD possesses good psychometric properties in different Chinese adolescent samples.
在三项研究中对中文版麦克马斯特家庭评估设备（FAD）的总体功能（GF）量表的信度和效度进行了检验。在研究1中，基于361名青少年的数据表明，GF量表在时间上是稳定的且内部一致，并且其同时效度和结构效度得到了支持。在研究2中，对一个临床组和一个非临床组（分别为N = 281和451）进行分析的数据表明，GF得分能够区分这两组。研究3利用3649名中学生的数据，支持了GF量表在不同青少年样本中的内部一致性、同时效度和结构效度。这些研究有力地表明，FAD的GF量表在不同的中国青少年样本中具有良好的心理测量学特性。
