The Japanese version of the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale demonstrated a single-factor structure with excellent internal consistency (alpha = 0.95) and high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.88).

Is the Japanese version of the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale (SSPS-J) a reliable and valid measure for assessing social safeness in the Japanese general population?
The Japanese version of the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing social safeness in the Japanese general population.
This study conducted an initial psychometric evaluation of the Japanese version of the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale (SSPS-J). In Study 1 (N = 477), exploratory factor analysis supported a single-factor structure with excellent internal consistency (alpha = 0.95, omega = 0.95). Significant correlations with depression (r = −0.53), anxiety (r = −0.26), stress (r = −0.36), life satisfaction (r = 0.67), and social support (r = 0.47–0.52) demonstrated robust convergent validity. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis (N = 262) confirmed the reproducibility of the single-factor model with an acceptable overall fit (CFI = 0.943, SRMR = 0.036, RMSEA = 0.108). Test–retest reliability over a three-week interval (N = 113) was also high (ICC = 0.88). These results suggest that the SSPS-J is a reliable and valid preliminary measure for assessing social safeness in the Japanese general population.
Asano et al. (Fri,) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=739). Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale Japanese Version (SSPS-J) was evaluated on Psychometric properties including factor structure, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. The Japanese version of the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale demonstrated a single-factor structure with excellent internal consistency (alpha = 0.95) and high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.88).
