Abstract
The social functioning of persons with schizophrenia contributes to their overall functional outcome and ability to live in the community. Enhancing the level of social functioning is an important treatment goal. The present study describes the development of the Social Occupational Functioning Scale (SOFS), a brief, yet comprehensive, easy to administer measure of social functioning for use in busy clinical settings. It has adequate psychometric properties in terms of reliability and validity. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure comprising of adaptive living skills, social appropriateness and interpersonal skills, accounting for 59% of the variance in total SOFS score.
