THE McMASTER FAMILY ASSESSMENT DEVICE: RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY*
Abstract
This paper reports a series of studies investigating the reliability and validity of the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD). The results indicated that the FAD has: (a) adequate test‐retest reliability, (b) low correlations with social desirability, (c) moderate correlations with other self‐report measures of family functioning, and (d) differentiates significantly between clinician‐rated healthy and unhealthy families. Cut‐off scores for identifying healthy and unhealthy families also were developed which have adequate sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, the relationships between the FAD, Family Unit Inventory, and FACES‐II suggests that the cohension and adaptability scales from the FACES‐II have a linear relationship with health/pathology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
