A subset (n\u2009=\u2009145) completed the DePSS again after one month. Following validation guidelines, floor and ceiling effects, structural validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability were assessed. We used open-ended questions to investigate content validity. The responses provided insights into respondents\u2019 perceptions of dementia and their interactions with people with dementia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forward-backward translation required minor adaptations.

Internal consistency (\u03b1\u2009=\u20090.82, \u03c9\u2009=\u20090.79) and test-retest reliability (ICC\u2009=\u20090.82, 95%CI 0.76\u20130.89) were good, with no significant differences between test and retest scores (t(144)\u2009=\u20090.135, p\u2009=\u2009.893). Responses to open-ended questions were largely clustered under DePSS items, indicating good content validity. Additional themes were disconnection from present reality; feeling pity for people with dementia; and manifestations of negative emotions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Dutch DePSS demonstrated good psychometric properties.
