Le questionnaire d'alexithymie pour enfants (QAE) : traduction française et étude de validation dans une population de 80 enfants « tout venant »

The three-factor model of the AQC was reported for the French version of scale but the EOT factor had low validity. This result confirms the recent study using the Dutch version of the AQC. Moreover, several studies using foreign versions of the TAS-20 reported low reliability of the EOT factor. Thus, other studies are necessary to explore the reliability of the EOT factor of the French version of the AQC, and it's recommended to use only the total score of the AQC instead of the sub-scores.
