“…Finally, financial distress provides an indication of how individuals within a family perceive their family's financial health and can be seen as an indicator of underlying strain. Together, these measures of a family's affective health, role strain, and financial health provide a more well-rounded picture of family functioning than using any single measure alone (see Pritchett et al, 2011).…”

“…127 Future research needs to identify family relationships and communication patterns that will lead to better improvements in child energy balance and weight status. To help guide future studies, Pritchett et al 128 have provided a comprehensive review of existing measures of family relationships within the domains of parent-child relationships, parental practices and discipline, parental beliefs, marital quality, global family functioning, and situation-specific measures. Within the category of parental practices and discipline, for example, the most commonly used assessment tools have been the Parenting Scale, 129 the Parenting Daily Hassles Scale, 130 and the Conflict Tactics Scale.…”

Abstract-This scientific statement addresses parents and adult caregivers (PACs) as "agents of change" for obese children, evaluating the strength of evidence that particular parenting strategies can leverage behavior change and reduce positive energy balance in obese youth. The statement has 3 specific aims. The first is to review core behavior change strategies for PACs as used in family-based treatment programs and to provide a resource list. The second is to evaluate the strength of evidence that greater parental "involvement" in treatment is associated with better reductions in child overweight. The third is to identify research gaps and new opportunities for the field. This review yielded limited and inconsistent evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials that greater PAC involvement necessarily is associated with better child outcomes. For example, only 17% of the intervention studies reported differential improvements in child overweight as a function of parental involvement in treatment. On the other hand, greater parental adherence with core behavior change strategies predicted better child weight outcomes after 2 and 5 years in some studies. Thus, the literature lacks conclusive evidence that one particular parenting strategy or approach causally is superior to others in which children have a greater focus in treatment. A number of research gaps were identified, including the assessment of refined parenting phenotypes, cultural tailoring of interventions, examination of family relationships, and incorporation of new technologies. A conceptual model is proposed to stimulate research identifying the determinants of PAC feeding and physical activity parenting practices, the results of which may inform new treatments. The statement addresses the need for innovative research to advance the scope and potency of PAC treatments for childhood obesity.

“…The Parenting Scale (PS; Arnold et al 1993) is one of the most widely used scales in measuring parenting practices in general (Pritchett, et al 2011) and in evaluating parenting programs in particular (de Graaf et al 2008). Several studies have examined the factor structure of the PS (Arney et al 2008;Collett et al 2001;Harvey et al 2001;Irvine et al 1999;Karazsia et al 2008;Prinzie et al 2007;Reitman, et al 2001;Rhoades and O'Leary 2007;Steele et al 2005); however, as discussed below, the results of these studies have been ambiguous.…”

Factor analytic studies of one of the widely used measurements of parental discipline, the Parenting Scale (PS), have yielded ambiguous results. The purpose of this study was to compare various forms of the PS in terms of factor structure and other psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 617 mothers and 430 fathers of 2 to 5-year-olds. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that shorter structural models provided a better fit compared to the original model; however, none led to an optimal fit. Other psychometric properties such as internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent and predictive validity were slightly higher for the original Laxness and Overreactivity subscales. The findings from this study and previous studies suggest that the inter-item relationship in the scale might be too sensitive to sample characteristics, implying that factor analysis might not be the best way to measure the scale's validity. Nevertheless, other psychometric properties support the use of the Parenting Scale in the assessment of dysfunctional parenting practices. We recommend using the original Laxness and Overreactivity subscales rather than the later models, especially for research purposes.

Quick, simple measures of family relationships for use in clinical practice and research. A systematic review

Abstract: There are numerous measures available demonstrating characteristics, which make them suitable for continued use. Future research is needed to examine the more holistic measurement of family functioning using integration of multi-informant data.
