FSPlay
Familienskulptur mit Playmobilfiguren
Short abstract
With the FSPlay, inner “working models” (schemata) of attachment/family/partnership/friendship relationships are collected. Using several play figures, one or more sculptures should be created, e.g. on the current family situation, the past and/or the future. The test construction was based on attachment theory, systemic family theory and other figure placement methods. Reliability: The interrater reliability based on two independent ratings of 30 sculptures was calculated longitudinally (.70 < = kappa < = 1.00). Validity: The face validity and the prompting character of FSPlay proved to be very high. Convergent validity was confirmed.
