Abstract
Methods
The questionnaire was translated using the standard translation/back-translation method. Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass coefficients
were used to estimate instrument reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to corroborate the original English
version factor structure in the new measure, and to establish validity. Path analyses were meant to validate relationships
found in the English version among Italian-speaking participants.

Results
The AQ-27-I demonstrated acceptable internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82 for the total scale and ranging
between 0.52 and 0.91 for the subscales. The test–retest reliability was also satisfactory, with intraclass correlation coefficients
of 0.72 for the total scale and ranging between 0.51 and 0.89 for the subscales. Fit indices of the model supported the factor
structure and paths.
