Parental bonding instrument and the inventory to diagnose depression lifetime version in a volunteer sample of Japanese workers

Factorial Structure of the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) in Japan: A Study of Cultural, Developmental, and Gender Influences

“…Since its development, the PBI has been used to assess relationships between the type of parenting received and mental disorders such as depression [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], borderline personality disorder [13,14], and schizophrenia [13,[15][16][17]. While there is variation in the links between PBI profiles and these conditions, high ''care'' and low ''overprotection'' has been widely recognized as the optimal rearing combination, as initially predicted by Parker et al [1].…”

A Persian version of the parental bonding instrument: Factor structure and psychometric properties

“…PBI studies have allowed evaluation of any parental contribution to a range of psychiatric conditions and psychological states, including clinical and normative depression (Parker, 1983;Parker et al, 1997;Uehara et al, 1998;Narita et al, 2000), mood disorders (Heider et al, 2006), anxiety disorders (Arrindell et al, 1998;Chambers et al, 2004;Yoshida et al, 2005), eating disorders (Meyer and Gillings, 2004;Turner et al, 2005;Canetti et al, 2008), personality disorders (Parker et al, 1999;De Panfilis et al, 2008), adolescent suicide (Violato and Arato, 2004;Freudenstein et al, 2011), substance abuse (Gerra et al, 2004), obsessive behavior (Cavedo and Parker, 1994), low self-esteem (Parker, 1993), generalized anxiety (Silove et al, 1991), alexithymia (Thorberg et al, 2011), schizophrenia (Byrne et al, 1990;Willinger et al, 2002), and recurrence of psychotic episodes in individuals with schizophrenia (Parker and Mater, 1986;Parker et al, 1988).…”

Maternal overprotection score of the Parental Bonding Instrument predicts the outcome of cognitive behavior therapy by trainees for depression

“…The 20 subjects eligible for analysis included six men and 14 women with a mean age of 37.1 Ϯ 11.5 years (range, 22-65 years). The mean number of psychotherapy sessions was 14.6 Ϯ 2.6 (range, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The mean BDI score at the first session (baseline BDI) was 20.9 Ϯ 8.6 (range, 10-38), and the mean score at the last one was 14.2 Ϯ 11.7 (range, 1-39).…”

“…There have been several studies regarding the relationship between the PBI and vulnerability to MDD, general anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. [13][14][15][16][17][18] The outcome of pharmacotherapy for MDD has also been studied in relation to the PBI. For instance, Sakado et al reported that low levels of PC might be a predictor of a poor response to pharmacotherapy.…”
