“…Recognizing overlap between Walsh’s model and elements of prior scales developed by McCubbin, Thompson, and McCubbin (2001), we created an initial item pool by compiling 60 items from the Family Hardine ss Index (FHI) , Family Attachment and Changeability Index (FACI) , and the Family Coping Index (FAMCI) . These items were rigorously developed, have been widely used (e.g., Benzies, Trute, Worthington, Reddon, Keown & Moore, 2011; Fleming, Jory & Burton, 2002; Schmid, Allen, Haley & DeCoster, 2010) and have good psychometric properties (Cronbach’s alphas of 0.82, 0.80, and .85, respectively; McCubbin, Thompson and McCubbin 2001). …”
