ABSTRACT

Although self-report questionnaires assessing family relationships are plentiful, all were developed from the perspective of the theorist or researcher.There is no instrument that has as its basis language and constructs developed from an understanding of how family members actually describe and think about themselves.The research presented here was an initial attempt to begin to understand the constructs and dimensions actually used by family members, to compare these constructs and dimensions with those most often used by researchers and theoreticians, and to examine possible intergenerational differences in them.

家庭的自然语言描述符

摘要

尽管评估家庭关系的自我报告问卷有很多，但都是从理论家或研究人员的角度开发的。没有一种工具可以从了解家庭成员如何实际描述和思考自己的方式发展而来作为其基础语言和结构。这里介绍的研究是初步尝试开始了解家庭成员实际使用的结构和维度，将这些结构和维度与研究人员和理论家最常用的结构和维度进行比较，并检查它们可能存在的代际差异。
