Reminiscence has accumulated many research results and applications in the field of mental health in the elderly. The Reminiscence Functions Scale (RFS) is commonly applied in reminiscence-related research and has good reliability and validity. The purpose of this study was to translate RFS into a Chinese version of the scale and to examine the psychometric properties. A total of 309 people aged 60~95 in community provided valid information and filled out the Chinese version of the Reminiscence Functions Scale on paper and online. The results show that the Chinese version of the Reminiscence Functions Scale has good psychometric properties. Cronbach's α of the Chinese version is 0.791~0.965 with good internal consistency. The Chinese version also has acceptable criterion-related validity. The results of this study confirm that the Chinese version of Reminiscence Functions Scale is an evaluation tool with good reliability and validity, and can be used as a tool for clinical evaluation and research of Taiwanese reminiscence functions.
