The Family-of-Origin Scale (FOS) is a 40 item, ten subscale self-report instrument designed to assess perceptions of family health. The scale, based on the dimensions of Autonomy and Intimacy, has demonstrated reliability and validity with adolescents. The FOS was administered to 100 adolescent psychiatric inpatients concurrently with the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) to examine the scale's discriminant and construct validity. When compared with 100 non-clinical adolescents, the psychiatric inpatients perceived their family as less healthy on all FOS dimensions. Perceived family health on the FOS was negatively and moderately correlated with the BSI dimensions. The findings provide psychometric and clinical support for the FOS with adolescents.
原生家庭量表（FOS）是一种包含40个项目、十个分量表的自陈式工具，旨在评估对家庭健康的认知。该量表基于自主性和亲密性维度，已在青少年群体中证明了其信度和效度。对100名青少年精神科住院患者同时施测FOS和简明症状量表（BSI），以检验该量表的区分效度和结构效度。与100名非临床青少年相比，精神科住院患者在FOS的所有维度上都认为自己的家庭健康状况较差。FOS上感知到的家庭健康状况与BSI维度呈负向且中等程度的相关。研究结果为FOS在青少年群体中的心理测量学特性和临床应用提供了支持。
