Abstract

Despite the gradual increase of research on social conflicts, psychometric characteristics of social-conflict scales have not been extensively examined, especially in the adolescent population. In this study, the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion-related validity of 2 established social-conflict scales were examined in a sample of 581 Chinese adolescents. There were high internal consistencies and test-retest reliabilities for both the Family Conflict Scale and the Friend Conflict Scale. The scales were significantly related to appraisals of the quality of social relations, psychological distress, and trait anxiety.
