Parent-Child Interactions
Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS)
A self-report instrument completed by mothers or fathers that assesses their perceptions of their relationship with their child. The 15 items are rated on 5-point Likert scales and the ratings can be summed into groups of items corresponding to conflict and closeness subscales. Applicable to children ages 3 to 12.
Parent report
Primary purpose is to provide a snapshot of the families served, changes in protective factors, and areas where workers can focus on increasing individual family protective factors. It is not intended for individual assessment, placement, or diagnostic purposes. Five protective factors are included in the complete PFS. Only the social-emotional support and concrete support protective factors were assessed in the School as Hub program evaluation. Social-Emotional Support = perceived informal support (from family, friends, and neighbors) that helps provide for emotional needs. Concrete Support = perceived access to tangible goods and services to help families cope with stress, particularly in times of crisis or intensified need.
