An empirical examination of the association between instruments measuring the Beavers-Timberlawn Model of family competence and the Circumplex Model of adaptability and cohesion is presented. Even when triangulated measures were utilized to control for the divergent methods of data collection traditionally employed to operationalize these models of family health, family competence as measured by the Beavers-Timberlawn Family Evaluation Scales was either minimally (mothers) or not associated at all (fathers and children) with balanced and thereby optimal dimensions of adaptability and cohesion as measured by the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales. Methodological and substantive explanations for the surprising lack of association between measures of these two prominent family assessment models are explored and short- and long-range implications for the growth and practice of family therapy are discussed.
本文对衡量家庭能力的比弗斯-廷伯勒恩模型的工具与适应性和凝聚力的环性模型之间的关联进行了实证检验。即使采用三角测量法来控制传统上用于将这些家庭健康模型操作化的数据收集的不同方法，用比弗斯-廷伯勒恩家庭评估量表测量的家庭能力与用家庭适应性和凝聚力评估量表测量的适应性和凝聚力的平衡（从而也是最佳）维度之间，要么关联极小（母亲），要么根本没有关联（父亲和孩子）。探讨了这两个著名家庭评估模型的测量之间惊人缺乏关联的方法学和实质性解释，并讨论了对家庭治疗发展和实践的短期和长期影响。
