“…The original PBI scale comprises of 25 items, an abbreviated version of the PBI, constructed by the authors of the article, consisted of 9 items. The abbreviated version was developed according to Kendler's three-factor solution and the parameter estimates of each item (Tsaousis et al, 2012). The three items with the highest parameter estimates were selected for each factor: care ("Spoke to me in a warm and friendly voice", "Enjoyed talking things over with me", "Frequently smiled at me"), protectiveness ("Tried to control everything I did", "Tried to make me feel dependent on her/him", "Was overprotective of me"), and authoritarianism (reversed items: "Liked me to make my own decisions", "Let me decide things for myself", "Gave me as much freedom as I wanted").…”

Parenting is reported to be a crucial factor for children's resilience; however, it is still unknown whether the effect of parental bonding in childhood persists on resilience later on in adulthood. The aim of our research is to evaluate the effect of retrospectively perceived parental bonding on adult resilience and its change in adulthood; we aim to study parental care, authoritarianism and behavioral control as the dimensions of parental bonding. A total of 745 adults from 18 to 81 years of age (M=44.54, SD=17.96) completed Lithuanian versions of the abbreviated Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the 14-Item Resilience Scale (RS-14). Results show that there is a small though significant effect of parental bonding on resilience: the importance of parental care persists even into older age, but the significance of authoritarianism diminishes with age.

“…Subsequent research has confirmed the threefactor nature of the PBI in various populations, including children (Tsaousis, Mascha, & Giovazolias, 2012). While many studies concur on the three-factor model (i.e., Terra et al, 2009), various studies have suggested that for eastern populations such as Japan and China, a four-factor model provides better fit (i.e., Liu, Li, & Fang, 2010;Suzuki & Kitamura, 2011).…”

Estimating the early parent-child bonding relationship can be valuable in research and practice. Retrospective dimensional measures of parental bonding provide a means for assessing the experience of the early parent-child relationship. However, combinations of dimensional scores may provide information that is not readily captured with a dimensional approach. This study was designed to assess the presence of homogeneous groups in the population with similar profiles on parental bonding dimensions. Using a short version of the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), three parental bonding dimensions (care, authoritarianism, and overprotection) were used to assess the presence of unobserved groups in the population using latent profile analysis. The class solutions were regressed on 23 covariates (demographics, parental psychopathology, loss events, and childhood contextual factors) to assess the validity of the class solution. The results indicated four distinct profiles of parental bonding for fathers as well as mothers. Parental bonding profiles were significantly associated with a broad range of covariates. This person-centered approach to parental bonding has broad utility in future research which takes into account the effect of parent-child bonding, especially with regard to "affectionless control" style parenting.

“…In order to obtain more accurate estimates of parent-child relationships, assessments of both parents and a child are necessary. Indeed, several studies of the family environment emphasize the low degree of agreement between the scores of mothers and children who filled out the same psychodiagnostic tool with correlation coefficients from 0.11 to 0.41 for younger adolescents (Tsaousis et al, 2012). According to some experts, the perception of the child by the parents is informative for understanding the relationships in the parent-child system (for example, Deater-Deckard et al, 2009).…”

The article presents the psychometric characteristics of the Russian version of The Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory, mother and father versions (CRPBI, Schludermann & Schludermann, 1988). The questionnaire is designed to study the perception of parental attitudes by children of primary school age and adolescents. The study involved 1060 children, of whom 690 were primary school age children (mean age = 9.26, SD = 1.04, 52.5% boys), and 370 were adolescents (mean age = 13.27, SD = 1.2, 59.5% boys). The structure of the questionnaire was studied using exploratory factor analysis of the correlation matrix of the responses to each statement. The method of the principal components was chosen for the analysis. To confirm the obtained structure of the questionnaire, confirmatory factor analysis was used. In the course of the study, the four-factor structure of the questionnaire was confirmed, with the following scales: Acceptance, Positive involvement, Rejection and Hostile detachment. Satisfactory internal consistency of these scales on both analyzed samples was revealed. The effect of age and sex on the questionnaire scores was estimated on the samples of primary school children and adolescents. In particular, the sex factor was significant for the 'positive' scales of maternal attitude with girls rating it higher than boys. For the perception of paternal attitude, the sex factor was significant for three scales of the questionnaire with girls rating the paternal attitude higher than boys on the 'positive' scales -Acceptance and Positive involvement, and boys rating it higher than girls on Rejection.
