This article reports the findings of a replication and validation study of the factor structure of the recently developed Reminiscence Functions Scale (RFS) [1]. Three hundred and ninety-nine adult subjects ranging in age from seventeen to forty-five years (M age = 22.7, SD = 5.7) completed the RFS. A principal components analysis indicated the viability of an eight-factor scale which strongly parallels the earlier scale construction. Factors were labeled: Boredom Reduction, Death Preparation, Identity, Problem-Solving, Conversation, Intimacy Maintenance, Bitterness Revival, and Teach/Inform. Internal consistency scores ranged from .74 to .86 and closely duplicated original scores. Age differences on Death Preparation and Teach/Inform were replicated. Potential uses of the RFS are documented.
本文报告了一项针对最近开发的怀旧功能量表（RFS）[1]因子结构的复制与验证研究的结果。399名年龄在17岁至45岁之间的成年受试者（平均年龄M = 22.7，标准差SD = 5.7）完成了RFS量表测试。主成分分析表明，一个八因子量表具有可行性，该量表与早期的量表构建高度相似。这些因子被标记为：减少无聊、死亡准备、身份认同、解决问题、交流、维持亲密关系、重温痛苦以及教导/告知。内部一致性得分在0.74至0.86之间，与原始得分相近。死亡准备和教导/告知方面的年龄差异得到了重复验证。文中记录了RFS量表的潜在用途。
