description Thomas and Azmitia (2019, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2018.11.004) proposed a short version of the Motivation for Solitude Scale. They tested this short form using a population of emerging adults and adolescents and they presented both the psychometric characteristics of this scale and its links with several adjustment factors. The aim of this study was to propose a French version of this scale. We translated this scale in French and tested it using a population presenting a larger range of ages and sociodemographic characteristics (N = 268). We also used a measure of anxiety-depression and a scale of emotional competences. This French version showed factor loadings and scores similar to those of the original version and has satisfactory psychometric properties. We discuss the properties of this short scale and the links between its scores and the scores on the additional measures, and finally we propose several leads for its use.
