Developed by the authors of the BASC-2, the Parenting Relationship Questionnaire (PRQ) is designed to capture a parent’s perspective on the parent-child relationship.
The PRQ has two forms which can be completed in 10-15 minutes by the mother, father or other primary caregiver:
Features of the PRQ
-
Multiple dimensions that are relevan to the development of strong and healthy parent-child relationships
-
Normative samples, for both female and male raters, that are closely matched to US Census population estimates
-
Items written at a third-grade reading level
-
Validity indexes that can be used to detect careless or exaggerated responding
-
Three types of record forms: hand-scored, computer-entry, and scannable
-
Computer software that provides detailed single- or multiple-administration reports, including progress reports and multirater reports that can be used to compare mother and father settings.
Uses of the PRQ
-
The PRQ was designed to provide information that is useful across a variety of settings and applications, including:
-
Educational psychological evaluations as a complementary tool to other assessments to determine an appropriate intervention plan based on parental involvement.
-
Clinical and paediatric evaluations where parent involvement is key to an effective treatment plan.
-
Family counseling evaluations to assess different parenting relationships, beliefs, and practices among parents or other caregivers.
-
Intervention/treatment programs where parents are involved in the treatment and therapy process.
