The reliability
coefficients (Cronbach's
alpha) of the three family functioning FES subscale
measures were slightly lower than reported by Moos (α =.62 for Family Cohesion, α =.59 for Family Expressiveness, and α =.63 for Family Conflict)(Saucier, Wilson, & Warka, 2007).
Many of the scales demonstrated weak psychometrics in at least one of the following ways: (a) lack of psychometric data [i.e., reliability and / or validity; e.g., HFQ, MASC, PBS, Social Adjustment Scale - Self - Report (SAS - SR) and all perceived self - esteem and self - concept scales], (b) items that fall on more than one subscale (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version), (c) low
alpha coefficients (e.g., below.60) for some subscales, which calls into question the utility of using these subscales in research and clinical work (e.g., HFQ, MMPI - A, CBCL - 1991 version, BASC, PSPCSAYC), (d) high correlations between subscales (e.g., PANAS - C), (e) lack of clarity regarding clinically - relevant cut - off scores, yielding high false positive and false negative rates (e.g., CES - D, CDI) and an inability to distinguish between minor (i.e., subclinical) and major (i.e., clinical) «cases» of a disorder (e.g., depression; CDI, BDI), (f) lack of correspondence between items and DSM criteria (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version, CDI, BDI, CES - D, (g) a factor structure that lacks clarity across studies (e.g., PSPCSAYC, CASI; although the factor structure is often difficult to assess in studies of pediatric populations, given the small sample sizes), (h) low inter-rater reliability for interview and observational methods (e.g., CGAS), (i) low correlations between respondents such as child, parent, teacher [e.g., BASC, PSPCSAYC, CSI, FSSC - R, SCARED, Connors Ratings Scales - Revised (CRS - R)-RSB-, (j) the inclusion of somatic or physical symptom items on mental health subscales (e.g., CBCL), which is a problem when conducting studies of children with pediatric physical conditions because physical symptoms may be a feature of the condition rather than an indicator of a mental health problem, (k) high correlations with
measures of social desirability, which is particularly problematic for the self - related rating scales and for child - report scales more generally, and (l) content validity problems (e.g., the RCMAS is a
measure of anxiety, but contains items that tap mood, attention, peer interactions, and impulsivity).
As was the case with the internalizing and externalizing
measures, some of the subscales for some
measures had low
alpha coefficients [Behavior Assessment System for Children, BASC; the 1991 version of the CBCL; certain subscales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - Adolescent version (MMPI - A)-RSB-.

2) Brazilian version of a general scale of relationship satisfaction (Schumm et al., 1986), translated and validated in a sample of 342 participants with a Cronbach's
alpha coefficient of.90 (Wachelke, De Andrade, Souza, & Cruz, 2007), a
measure composed by three items [«I am satisfied with my relationship», «I am satisfied with my companion in what concerns his / her role in the relationship» and «I am satisfied with my relationship with my companion»] completed in a 5 - point Likert scale ranging from 1 = «strongly disagree» to 5 = «strongly agree».
