Abstract
The Chinese version (CβSFI) of the SelfβReport Family Inventory (SFI) was administered to 3,649 Chinese adolescents. Results showed that the CβSFI is internally consistent. Factor analyses revealed that two factors were abstracted from the scale (positive family behavior and negative family behavior), and they could reliably be reproduced in different adolescent subsamples based on gender and grade. Contrary to the previous findings that there are five to six dimensions of the SFI, the present findings show that the CβSFI has two dimensions. This study suggests that clinical practitioners should be cautious in using the subscales in the SFI, particularly for the Chinese. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 57: 375β385, 2001.
