The study examined a new child report measure of maternal support following child sexual abuse. One hundred and forty-six mother-child dyads presenting for a forensic evaluation completed assessments including standardized measures of adjustment. Child participants also responded to 32 items considered for inclusion in a new measure, the Maternal Support Questionnaire-Child Report (MSQ-CR). Exploratory factor analysis of the Maternal Support Questionnaire-Child Report resulted in a three factor, 20-item solution: Emotional Support (9 items), Skeptical Preoccupation (5 items), and Protection/Retaliation (6 items). Each factor demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Construct and concurrent validity of the new measure were supported in comparison to other trauma-specific measures. The Maternal Support Questionnaire-Child Report demonstrated sound psychometric properties. Future research is needed to determine whether the Maternal Support Questionnaire-Child Report provides a more sensitive approximation of maternal support following disclosure of sexual abuse, relative to measures of global parent-child relations and to contextualize discrepancies between mother and child ratings of maternal support.
该研究考察了一种针对儿童遭受性虐待后母亲支持情况的新的儿童报告测量方法。146对前来进行法医评估的母婴二元组完成了包括标准化适应测量在内的评估。儿童参与者还对32个项目做出了回应，这些项目被考虑纳入一种新的测量方法，即《母亲支持问卷 - 儿童报告》（MSQ - CR）。对《母亲支持问卷 - 儿童报告》进行探索性因素分析，得出了一个包含三个因素、20个条目的结果：情感支持（9个条目）、怀疑性关注（5个条目）和保护/报复（6个条目）。每个因素都显示出足够的内部一致性。与其他特定创伤测量方法相比，新测量方法的结构效度和同时效度得到了支持。《母亲支持问卷 - 儿童报告》显示出良好的心理测量特性。未来需要进行研究，以确定相对于全球亲子关系测量方法，《母亲支持问卷 - 儿童报告》在性虐待披露后是否能更敏感地近似母亲支持情况，并将母亲和儿童对母亲支持的评分差异置于具体情境中。
