ABSTRACT

Fantastic reality ability (FRA) is defined as the capacity to use imagination in response to stress or trauma; it has been identified as an important concept in trauma-focused therapy. This manuscript presents the newly developed 21-item scale, Fantastic Reality Ability MEasurement (FRAME), based on responses from 502 Israeli adults. The development and initial psychometric validation of this scale is detailed. A four-factor solution was identified: Coping, Control, Transcendence, and Playfulness. Each factor contributes significantly to the measurement of a higher-order FRA latent construct. FRAME responses demonstrated high internal consistency (α =.88) and good test–retest reliability over 27 weeks (.60 < r >.80). We also report robust correlations between the FRAME and measures of ego-resiliency, playfulness, and fantasy proneness. The FRAME enables one to briefly measure imagination use in response to trauma and could serve as part of questionnaire batteries measuring individual differences and used in clinical research.

摘要

奇幻现实能力（FRA）被定义为运用想象力应对压力或创伤的能力；它已被确定为创伤聚焦治疗的一个重要概念。这份手稿根据 502 名以色列成年人的回答，展示了新开发的 21 项量表，即神奇现实能力测量 (FRAME)。详细介绍了该量表的开发和初步心理测量验证。确定了一个四因素解决方案：应对、控制、超越和嬉戏。每个因素对高阶 FRA 潜在构造的测量都有显着影响。FRAME 响应表现出高度的内部一致性 (α =.88) 和 27 周内良好的重测信度 (.60 <  r>.80）。我们还报告了 FRAME 与自我弹性、嬉戏性和幻想倾向性的测量之间的强大相关性。FRAME 使人们能够简要地测量对创伤的想象力使用情况，并且可以作为测量个体差异的问卷电池的一部分并用于临床研究。
