Description

Abstract

CPIC evaluates the perceptions of the children about the marital conflicts experienced in the family nucleus. For this, a total of 49 items distributed in three dimensions (properties of conflict, threats and self-blame) that group the nine factors of the questionnaire are used

Psychometric characteristics

Reliability:

Internal consistency by scales in the two original validated samples: Properties of the conflict (.90 - .89), Threat (.83 - .83), Self - blame (.78 - .84). Likewise, the test-retest scores show that the scales obtain significant indexes of temporal stability

Validity:

The scale of properties of parental conflict is the area most significantly associated with the measures obtained in children, in turn, positively correlates with the manifestation of internalizing behavioral problems in boys but negatively for girls
