Angst vor negativer sozialer Bewertung: Übersetzung und Validierung der Furcht vor negativer Evaluation–Kurzskala (FNE-K)

Published Online:October 29, 2015https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000148

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Die Furcht vor negativer sozialer Evaluation durch andere Menschen ist ein zentrales Diagnosekriterium der sozialen Phobie. Die Skala Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation–Revised (BFNE-R) ist in der englischen Literatur ein sehr häufig verwendetes, valides und reliables Instrument. Ziel dieser Studie ist die Validierung der deutschen Übersetzung der BFNE-R anhand 4 verschiedener Studien. Neben einem einfaktoriellen Messmodell konnte eine exzellente interne Konsistenz gezeigt werden. Zudem demonstrierte die Skala eine angemessene Test-Retest-Reliabilität, konvergente und divergente Validität, Kriteriumsvalidität sowie eine sehr gute Sensitivität bei sozial phobischen Patientinnen und Patienten. Zusammenfassend verfügt die deutsche Version Furcht vor negativer Evaluation–Kurzskala (FNE-K) über gute psychometrische Eigenschaften zur Erfassung der Angst vor negativer sozialer Evaluation und wird für die Anwendung im Forschungsbereich genauso wie für den Klinikalltag empfohlen.


Translation of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale–Revised (BFNE-R) and Validation of the German Version (FNE-K)

Abstract. A central diagnostic criterion of social anxiety disorder is the fear of negative social evaluation. The Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale–Revised (BFNE-R) is a frequently used, valid, and reliable instrument. The aim of this study was to validate the German translation of the BFNE-R with 4 different studies. A one-factor model and good internal consistency could be confirmed. Furthermore, the scale demonstrated appropriate test–retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, criterion validity and sensitivity for patients with social anxiety disorder. In sum, the German version “Furcht vor negativer Evaluation–Kurzskala” (FNE-K) comes with good psychometric properties to assess fear of negative social evaluation and therefore is recommended for use in research as well as in clinical routine.
