, FREDERICK S. WAMBOLDT, M.D., LESLIE GAVIN, PH.D., SANDRA MCTAGGART, M.A.ABSTRACT |
Objective |
To examine a measure of children’s perception of their relationships with parents.
Method |
The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment (CAPA) was administered to 114 inpatients (aged 9–18 years) at a tertiary asthma center from1991 to 1994. Ten items from the CAPA were developed as a separate scale, the Parent–Child Relationship Scale (PCRS). Some subjects (82) were given family and child assessments.
Results |
The PCRS had good internal reliability (Cronbach ⍺ = .72). Construct validity was demonstrated by correlations with child and parent report on the Family Assessment Device (r = 0.46 and 0.35;p < .001) and high expressed emotion of the parent (t = 2.89;p < .01). Divergent validity may be evidenced by the fact that the PCRS was not significantly related to high emotional over-involvement. Predictive validity was shown by significant correlations with the total problem scores of parents’ (r = 0.28;p < .01) and children’s (r = 0.41;p < .001) Achenbach reports, and prediction of CAPA psychiatric diagnosis (OR = 5.83; 95% CI 1.80–22.63).
Conclusion |
The PCRS can potentially be used to assess the child’s perspective of the parent–child relationship for research or clinical purposes and deserves further study.
