Social functioning as an outcome variable in family interventions with schizophrenic patients has been a relatively neglected area. The requirements of a scale of social functioning to measure the efficacy of family interventions include: the measurement of skill/behaviour relevant to the impairments and the demography of this group; the ability to yield considerable information with an economy of clinical time; and the establishment of 'comparative' need through comparison between subscales and with appropriate reference groups. Results from three samples show that the Social Functioning Scale is reliable, valid, sensitive and responsive to change.
在针对精神分裂症患者的家庭干预中，将社会功能作为一个结果变量是一个相对被忽视的领域。用于衡量家庭干预效果的社会功能量表的要求包括：测量与该群体的损伤和人口统计学相关的技能/行为；能够在节省临床时间的情况下产生大量信息；以及通过子量表之间的比较和与适当的参照组进行比较来确定“相对”需求。来自三个样本的结果表明，社会功能量表可靠、有效、敏感且对变化有反应。
