Despite the frequent use of the Parentification Questionnaire (PQ) and the Parentification Scale (PS) in research studies, scant attention has been directed toward the psychometric properties of the scores derived from these measures. Moreover, given the importance of parentification as a clinical topic for treatment, it is surprising that more attention has not been paid to the accuracy and psychometric properties of parentification instruments. The current study was the first to compare the psychometric properties of these two commonly used parentification instruments (i.e., PQ and PS). This study also examined another parentification instrument, newly developed: the Parentification Inventory (PI). More specifically, the psychometric properties of the PI were compared comprehensively with those of the PQ and PS in a sample of college students (N = 787). Scores derived from the three measures were found to be comparable, valid, and reliable. Implications for couple and family system practice, and directions for future research are proffered.
尽管在研究中经常使用父母化问卷（PQ）和父母化量表（PS），但很少有人关注这些测量方法得出的分数的心理测量特性。此外，鉴于父母化作为治疗的临床主题的重要性，令人惊讶的是，人们对父母化工具的准确性和心理测量特性没有给予更多关注。本研究首次比较了这两种常用的父母化工具（即 PQ 和 PS）的心理测量特性。本研究还在大学生样本（N = 787）中检查了另一种新开发的父母化工具：父母化量表（PI）。更具体地说，PI 的心理测量特性与 PQ 和 PS 的心理测量特性进行了全面比较。这三种测量方法得出的分数具有可比性、有效性和可靠性。为夫妻和家庭系统实践提供了启示，并为未来的研究提供了方向。
