The Level of Expressed Emotion (LEE) scale was developed to provide an index of the perceived emotional climate in a person's influential relationships. Unlike existing measures, the scale was constructed on the basis of a conceptual framework described by expressed emotion theorists. In addition to providing an overall score, the 60-item scale assesses the following four characteristic attitudes or response styles of significant others: Intrusiveness, emotional response, attitude toward illness, and tolerance/expectations. The scale underwent extensive psychometric development procedures: (1) theoretically based item generation; (2) pilot testing with normal and psychiatric populations to select the final items; and (3) construct validation within a schizophrenic population. The results were quite favorable and indicate that the LEE scale has sound psychometric properties of internal consistency; reliability; independence from sex, age, and amount of contacts; and construct validity.
表达性情绪水平（LEE）量表旨在为个人重要人际关系中所感知到的情绪氛围提供一个指标。与现有测量方法不同，该量表是基于表达性情绪理论学家所描述的概念框架构建的。除了给出一个总分外，这个包含60个条目的量表还评估重要他人的以下四种特征态度或反应方式：侵扰性、情绪反应、对疾病的态度以及容忍度/期望。该量表经历了广泛的心理测量学开发过程：（1）基于理论生成条目；（2）在正常人群和精神病人群中进行预测试以选择最终条目；（3）在精神分裂症患者群体中进行结构效度验证。结果非常理想，表明LEE量表具有良好的心理测量学特性，包括内部一致性、可靠性、不受性别、年龄和接触量的影响以及结构效度。
