✦ Synopsis

The development of the Parent±Child Interaction Questionnaire (PACHIQ) is described. The PACHIQ can be used to assess how a parent evaluates his or her relationship with each child in the family (PACHIQ-P), and vice versa (PACHIQ-Ch). The items refer to interpersonal behaviour and interpersonal feelings. Conceptually, the PACHIQ is based on learning theory and structural systems theory. For the Child version, a stable two-factor structure was found in three independent samples in the Netherlands. The common factors found in these analyses were interpreted as representing Authority and Acceptance. For the Parent version, a one-factor solution was found to be satisfactory. The reliabilities of the subscales and the total scale are good. Results obtained so far indicate that the validity is satisfactory.
