The Family Attitude Scale (FAS) is a self-report measure of critical or hostile attitudes and behaviors towards another family member, and demonstrates an ability to predict relapse in psychoses. Data are not currently available on a French version of the scale. The present study developed a French version of the FAS, using a large general population sample to test its internal structure, criterion validity and relationships with the respondents' symptoms and psychiatric diagnoses, and examined the reciprocity of FAS ratings by respondents and their partners. A total of 2072 adults from an urban population undertook a diagnostic interview and completed self-report measures, including an FAS about their partner. A subset of participants had partners who also completed the FAS. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed an excellent fit by a single-factor model, and the FAS demonstrated a strong association with dyadic adjustment. FAS scores of respondents were affected by their anxiety levels and mood, alcohol and anxiety diagnoses, and moderate reciprocity of attitudes and behaviors between the partners was seen. The French version of the FAS has similarly strong psychometric properties to the original English version. Future research should assess the ability of the French FAS to predict relapse of psychiatric disorders.
家庭态度量表（FAS）是一种自我报告的测量方法，用于评估对另一个家庭成员的关键或敌对态度和行为，并能够预测精神疾病的复发。目前尚无该量表的法译本数据。本研究使用大样本的一般人群样本，开发了 FAS 的法译本，以测试其内部结构、效标效度以及与受访者的症状和精神诊断之间的关系，并考察了受访者及其伴侣对 FAS 评分的相互影响。共有 2072 名城市居民成年人接受了诊断访谈并完成了自我报告措施，包括对其伴侣的 FAS。一部分参与者的伴侣也完成了 FAS。验证性因素分析显示，单因素模型拟合度极好，FAS 与夫妻关系的调整密切相关。受访者的 FAS 评分受到他们的焦虑水平和情绪、酒精和焦虑诊断的影响，并且可以看到伴侣之间的态度和行为具有适度的相互影响。法译本的 FAS 具有与原始英文版本相同的强大心理测量学特性。未来的研究应评估法国 FAS 预测精神障碍复发的能力。
