This study modified and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) in samples of adolescents. Internal consistency reliability, corrected item-total scale correlation, and exploratory factor analysis procedures were used with a mixed sample of 260 adolescents to identify 14 items for the brief version of the RFL (BRFL-A). Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the five-factor oblique structure of the BRFL-A in a psychiatric inpatient sample with a range of suicidal behaviors. Reliabilities of the BRFL-A subscales were satisfactory. Four of the five subscales differentiated between suicidal and nonsuicidal adolescents. Significant correlations were found between three BRFL-A subscales and several suicide indices. Convergent-discriminant validity was examined by correlating the BRFL-A subscales with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescents (MMPI-A) Content Scales. Limitations of the study are discussed.
本研究对青少年样本中的生存理由量表（RFL）的心理测量特性进行了修改和评估。对260名青少年的混合样本使用了内部一致性信度、校正后的项目-总量表相关性以及探索性因素分析程序，以确定RFL简版（BRFL-A）的14个项目。验证性因素分析为BRFL-A在具有一系列自杀行为的精神科住院患者样本中的五因素斜交结构提供了支持。BRFL-A分量表的信度令人满意。五个分量表中的四个能够区分自杀青少年和非自杀青少年。在BRFL-A的三个分量表与几个自杀指标之间发现了显著相关性。通过将BRFL-A分量表与明尼苏达多相人格调查表青少年版（MMPI-A）内容量表进行相关性分析，检验了聚合区分效度。讨论了该研究的局限性。
