Two samples of Hong Kong college students completed the English and the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Orientation Toward Dying and Death Inventory (MODDI-F), respectively. Results show substantially lower coefficients of internal consistency in the English version when compared with its Chinese counterpart. The construct validity of the instrument, i.e., the statistical relationships between its subtests, was confirmed. Whenever available, the use of a questionnaire that is worded in the participants' mother tongue is recommended.
两组香港大学生样本分别完成了英文版和中文版的多维死亡取向量表（MODDI-F）。结果显示，与中文版相比，英文版的内部一致性系数显著更低。该量表的结构效度，即其各子测试之间的统计关系，得到了证实。只要可行，建议使用用参与者母语编写的问卷。
