    Abstract:
    The aim of the present study is to determine the validity and reliability of the French version of the PSI-II. The PSI-II is a self-rating scale divided into two subscales containing each 24 items and rating sociotropy and autonomy. 202 university students (170 females, 32 males) with a mean age of 21.54 years (sd = 4.16) were included. They filled out the PSI-II and the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (IDI). The construct validity was explored using an exploratory principal components analysis followed by an orthogonal varimax rotation. The results had shown a three-factor solution with a "sociotropy" factor and two "autonomy" factors. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were respectively 0.83 and 0.72 for the sociotropy and autonomy subscales. The Pearson correlations between the PSI-II and IDI subscales showed significant correlation first between the sociotropy subscale and the two subscales of the IDI rating dependency, the values were respectively 0.67 (p < 0.001) and 0.44 (p < 0.001), and secondly between the autonomy subscales of the PSI-II and IDI, the value was 0.39 (p < 0.001). The sociotropy subscale items correlated significantly with the total score of the subscale with a mean of 0.46. 23 items of the autonomy subscale correlated with the total score with a mean of 0.36. The sociotropy and autonomy scores were respectively 93.98 (sd = 14.22) and 84.55 (sd = 11.69). The French version of the PSI-II had satisfactory metrological parameters and allows to study sociotropy and autonomy in French population.
