Parent-Child Relationship Inventory/Evidence
Method evidence record

Parent-Child Relationship Inventory

The Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI) is a 78-item (or 35-item short form) parent self-report measure of parenting attitudes, behaviors, and relationship quality with their child ages 3–15 years. Developed by Abraham Gerard in 1994, the PCRI assesses six dimensions of parenting: Parental Support, Satisfaction with Parenting, Involvement, Communication, Limit Setting, and Autonomy Granting. It is used in clinical, developmental, and research settings to evaluate parenting strengths and challenges, guide parenting interventions, and measure outcomes of family-based treatments.
