We performed a confirmatory factor analysis for the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES‐III) using 3865 university students in Japan. We confirmed two factors as in the original version, but there were slight differences with the original one. Some items were deleted in order to obtain sufficient goodness‐of‐fit indexes in a series of confirmatory factor analyses. Moreover, items 11 “Our family, changes its way of handling tasks,” 20 “Parents and children discuss in our family,” and 15 “We shift household responsibilities,” which were originally categorized as “adaptability” items, were loaded on the “cohesion” factor.
