AB  - Objective: This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the 
      Japanese version of the Rathus assertiveness schedule (J-RAS) in psychiatric day 
      care users with schizophrenia. Subjects and Methods: We examined 715 psychiatric 
      day care users with schizophrenia by conducting the test twice between September 
      2007 and February 2008 using a questionnaire-based survey. We examined construct 
      validity and used the internal reliability test, split-half method, and 
      test-retest method to examine reliability. The questionnaires were distributed 
      and collected by post via the director of each facility. Results: Of the 1272 
      psychiatric day care users, 715 users (56.2%) were enrolled in the study. Seven 
      factors were extracted for construct validity. The cumulative contribution rate 
      of these factors was 49.4% and the internal consistency of 30 items of the J-RAS 
      was alpha = 0.72. The split-half method revealed a significant correlation between 
      the total scores of the odd- and even-numbered items (r = 0.64, p < 0.01). The 
      test-retest method revealed a significant difference between the total scores of 
      the first and second tests of the 30 items of the J-RAS (r = 0.73, P < 0.01). 
      Conclusion: We confirmed the validity and reliability of the J-RAS in psychiatric 
      day care users with schizophrenia and demonstrated its efficacy in evaluating 
      psychiatric day care users.
