Background: Rigorous testing of the original Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS—9) with modern psychometric methods is warranted. Objective: To determine the psychometric properties of the FSS—9 in multiple sclerosis (MS): internal scale validity; person response validity; unidimensionality; uniform differential item functioning; temporal stability of response patterns; and ability to separate people into distinct groups of fatigue. Methods: Rasch analyses were conducted on data from a Norwegian and a Swedish MS cohort followed for two years. Results: Item estimations in the FSS—9 did not differ between sex or levels of education but between the cohorts with regard to disability, disease course and time for evaluation, however, items 1 and 2 demonstrated unacceptable high outfit mean-square values in both cohorts. In an FSS—7 item version, items 3 and 4 in the Norwegian and 4 in the Swedish cohort demonstrated unacceptable goodness of fit but high separation indexes. In the FSS—7, the first unidimensional factor explained 87.5% (Norwegian cohort) and 86.4% (Swedish cohort) of the total variation. Conclusions: In MS, the FSS—7 demonstrates better psychometric properties than the FSS—9; items 1 and 2 neither empirically nor conceptually fit with the other seven items.

Cross Cultural Comparison

The Fear Questionnaire (FQ) has been widely used both nationally and internationally in the anxiety disorder literature. Research from a variety of centres advocating its psychometric properties and clinical utility is now available; however a critical and integrated review has been lacking. This paper offers an integration of empirical research for cross-cultural comparison and as a testament of the FQ itself. A refined FQ is also proposed to enhance its utility.
