Psychometric evaluation of the German version of the Brief Reflective Functioning Interview

ConclusionsOur results revealed that the RFS scores measured by the BRFI are highly comparable to those measured by the AAI. Our findings support the results of previous studies, suggesting that the BRFI is a reliable, valid and easy-to-administer alternative to the AAI.Practitioner points The German version of the Brief Reflective Functioning Interview (BRFI) proved to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of reflective functioning that is shorter in terms of time to complete and the evaluation process than the measurement via the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI). Reflective functioning is negatively associated with psychopathology.
