Validation of the Friendship Quality Scale for Pre- and Early Adolescence
Abstract
This study was performed to examine the reliability and validity of the Friendship Quality Scale (FQS) for pre- and early adolescence. The participants were 466 students in 5th-9th grades. The results indicated that the FQS was a reliable instrument, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported a 5 factor model: companionship, conflict, help, security, and closeness. Also the 5 factor structure of the FQS fit well with the elementary and middle school student sample. Convergent validity was examined through investigating correlations between the FQS and other scales (Peer Relational Skill Scale, Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment-Reverse, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale). In addition, discriminant validity was confirmed by mean differences on the subscales between the clinical groups and non-clinical groups. On the basis of these results, implications and limitations of the instrument were discussed.
