This study proposes a psychometric validation of the Italian version of the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS) developed by Pianta in 1992. Based on attachment theory, the scale assesses parents' relationship perceptions with their own child and comprises three scales: Closeness, Conflict, and Dependency. A sample of 501 parents (188 fathers and 313 mothers) completed 30 items of the Italian version of the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS-I) online, but only 437 answered 85% of the entire protocol; hence, the analyses only focused on 437 participants. The first analysis of the original theoretical model revealed poor fit, item loadings, and internal consistency. Therefore, a follow-up analysis was conducted. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses with a split sample (EFA = 218; CFA = 219) confirmed the original three-factor structure of the Italian sample, although some items were eliminated. The validity and reliability of the Italian version of the CPRS-I were also verified by correlating the above three factors with measures of adult attachment styles and children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors. The CPRS-I showed significant correlations with all tested constructs, in line with those found by Driscoll and Pianta for the short form of the scale. Our results confirm that the CPRS-I has the same structure as the original scale; therefore, it can be a useful tool for assessing parents' perceptions of their relationship with their children. The implications for educational and clinical settings are also discussed.
本研究对1992年由皮亚塔编制的《亲子关系量表》（CPRS）意大利语版本进行了心理测量学验证。基于依恋理论，该量表评估父母对自己孩子的关系认知，包括三个分量表：亲密性、冲突性和依赖性。501名家长（188名父亲和313名母亲）的样本在线完成了《亲子关系量表》意大利语版本（CPRS-I）的30个项目，但只有437人回答了整个问卷的85%；因此，分析仅聚焦于437名参与者。对原始理论模型的首次分析显示拟合度、项目载荷和内部一致性较差。因此，进行了后续分析。对一个分割样本进行探索性和验证性分析（探索性因素分析=218；验证性因素分析=219），尽管剔除了一些项目，但证实了意大利样本的原始三因素结构。通过将上述三个因素与成人依恋风格以及儿童内化和外化行为的测量指标进行关联，也验证了CPRS-I意大利语版本的效度和信度。CPRS-I与所有测试构念均呈现显著相关性，这与德里斯科尔和皮亚塔对该量表简版的研究结果一致。我们的结果证实CPRS-I与原始量表具有相同的结构；因此，它可以作为评估父母对其与孩子关系认知的有用工具。同时还讨论了其在教育和临床环境中的意义。
