Abstract

This study aimed to (1) determine the psychometric properties and reliability of the FACES‐IV and (2) evaluate the curvilinear hypotheses of the Circumplex Model. A total of 6245 Peruvian participants, aged 18–65 years (M = 26.1; SD = 8.8), completed the Spanish version of the FACES‐IV. In addition, the complementary scales (PHQ‐9 and PSS) were administered for the evaluation of the Circumplex Model hypotheses. The six‐dimensional model, using an exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) approach, was robust. Reliability was acceptable for most dimensions (ω > 0.70). Balanced dimensions were associated with prevalence depression symptoms by 10% to 31% lower. Furthermore, the Rigid and Enmeshment dimensions increased family communication or satisfaction) by up to 35% to 94%. This study provides relevant information on the validity of the FACES‐IV when modeled using ESEM and provides psychotherapists and families with a psychometrically sound tool with clinical utility in the Spanish‐speaking population of Peru and similar countries.
