Assessment in counseling is strengthened when research exists to demonstrate the psychometric strength of scores from a particular instrument across samples. This study presents a psychometric synthesis of data across 52 publications that met criteria and reported use of the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI; Gerard, 1994) across disciplines and in numerous contexts. Results revealed low score reliability, with aggregated alphas of .63 to .83 and test-retest coefficients of .62 to .79 over a 1-year retest period across subscales and total score. There was little evidence of score validity, including no exploratory or confirmatory factor analytic studies, or evidence of diagnostic validity. Cautions for use of the PCRI and implications for professional counselors and researchers are discussed.

亲子关系量表的心理测量综合

当存在研究以证明特定工具跨样本得分的心理测量强度时，会加强咨询评估。本研究对符合标准的 52 份出版物的数据进行了心理测量综合，并报告了跨学科和多种背景下使用亲子关系量表（PCRI；Gerard，1994 年）的情况。结果显示得分可靠性较低，在 1 年的重测期间，各个分量表和总分的总 alpha 值为 0.63 至 0.83，重测系数为 0.62 至 0.79。几乎没有分数有效性的证据，包括没有探索性或验证性因素分析研究，或诊断有效性的证据。讨论了 PCRI 的使用注意事项以及对专业顾问和研究人员的影响。
