Validation of the French translation of Beck’s Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale  



Abstract: Validation of the French translation of Beck’s Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale

Objectives: To validate the French version of the Sociotropy- Autonomy Scale (SAS) developed by Beck and others. The SAS is a self-questionnaire of 60 items divided into 2 dimensions measuring sociotropy and autonomy.

Method: The SAS was completed by 1028 students, 140 of whom jointly completed Robins’ Personal Style Inventory-Revised, and 75 of whom completed the SAS again 3 months later.

Results: The principal-axes factor analysis conducted on all 60 items yielded 2 distinct dimensions: sociotropy and autonomy. The factor analysis of each dimension led us to identify 6 subdimensions, just as in the original instrument.

Conclusion: The French translation features satisfying psychometric and conceptual characteristics and allows these dimensions to be studied in a French sample. Results are discussed with regards to adequacy when compared with the original Beck’s version.
