The overall Cronbachαcoefficient for the 18-item DEOS was 0.95,while the coefficients for each area ranged from 0.86-0.91.Based on afactor analysis,the 18 items were classified into 3 domains:［Personhood］,［Interactions with surroundings］and［Expression of emotions］.Conclusion:The reliability and validity of the 18 items of the DEOS were verified. 続きを見る
