Aim of the Test :

To evaluate and understand the various


dimensions of parental behaviour and its impact
on the parent-child relationship by utilizing the
Parent-Child Relationship Scale (PCRS) as a
measurement tool. This practicum seeks to
identify specific patterns of parenting styles,
the emotional climate within the family, and the
resultant effects on child development and well-
being.

INTRODUCTION :
Parental behaviour is a fundamental aspect of
child development that significantly influences a
child's emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
The ways in which parents interact with,
nurture, and guide their children lay the
groundwork for their future well-being and
success. Understanding parental behaviour is
critical not only for parents but also for
educators, policymakers, and mental health
professionals working to support families and
promote healthy child development.
PRINCIPLES :
1. Affection : Measuring the emotional warmth,
love, and positive feelings between the parent
and child. High levels of affection can contribute
to emotional security in children.
2. Communication : Assessing the quality of
interaction, including openness and clarity of
dialogue. Effective communication fosters
understanding and strengthens bonds.
3. Trust : Evaluating the level of trust between
parent and child. A trusting relationship enables
children to feel safe sharing their thoughts and
feelings.
4. Supportiveness : Identifying the extent to
which parents provide emotional, social, and
psychological support. Support fosters
independence and resilience in children.
5. Discipline and Control : Examining how
discipline is administered. Effective discipline
methods promote self-regulation while avoiding
harshness or neglect.
GENERAL PROBLEM

Communication

Miscommunication: Parents and children may


have differing communication styles leading to
misunderstandings.
Expression of emotions: Children may struggle
to express their feelings, while parents could
misinterpret these emotions, leading to
conflicts.

Expectations
Parental Expectations: Parents may have high
or unrealistic expectations regarding academic
performance, behaviour, or career choices,
leading to pressure on the child.
Children’s Independence: As children grow, they
seek more independence, which may clash with
their parents' expectations.

Conflict Resolution
Disagreements and Power Struggles: Common
in adolescent years, issues of autonomy and
control can lead to conflicts.
Lack of resolution strategies: Families may not
have effective communication or conflict-
resolution strategies, leading to ongoing
disputes.

Emotional Support and Understanding


Emotional Unavailability: Parents may be
emotionally distant due to their own stressors,
which can affect a child's sense of security.
Support vs. Control: Parents sometimes
unintentionally control rather than support their
children's choices and emotions.

Overall, the parent-child relationship is a vital


aspect of human development and requires
ongoing effort, adaptability, and mutual respect
to navigate successfully.
SPECIFIC PROBLEM

Response significantly affects the validity of


data collected through the parent-child
relationship scale. This occurs when
respondents, due to social desirability or fear of
judgment, provide responses that do not
accurately reflect their true feelings or
behaviours.

BASIC CONCEPT

The parent-child relationship scale serves as an


invaluable tool for both research and practical
applications, providing insights that are crucial
for fostering healthy family dynamics. By
systematically examining the various
dimensions of these relationships, such as
emotional connection, communication patterns,
disciplinary practices, involvement, and
support, we gain a comprehensive
understanding of how these factors interact to
shape a child's development and well-being.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

1) PCRS BOOKLET
2) SCORING SHEET
3) PEN/PENCIL
DESCRIPTION OF THE APPARATUS

The data available on the items of the scale can


be grouped into fairly universal dimension of
children’s experience of family interaction with
two parent factor. The tool contains 100 items
categorized into 10 dimensions namely,
Protecting, Symbolic Punishment, Rejecting,
Object Punishment, Demanding, Indifferent,
Symbolic Reward, Loving, Object Reward,
Neglecting. Items of the scales are arranged in
the same order as the dimensions and they
rotate in a cycle through the Scale. It
respondent scores the tool for both Father and
Mother separately. Items are common for both
the parents except for 3 items which are
different in the Father and Mother forms due to
the nature of variation in paternal and maternal
relationship with children.

RESULT

As can be seen from the above result, it can be


found that these in 10 sub-scales in which the
result respond to his parents are scored in. The
highest score in the above sub-scale is (75)
which is in Symbolic Reward scale and the
lowest score is (31) which is Object Punishment.

INTERPRETATION
From the scoring sheet, the subject scores as
the following:-

➢ The score in the dimension of Protecting is


(73)
➢ The score in the dimension of Symbolic
Punishment is (56)
➢ The score in the dimension of Rejecting is (53)
➢ The score in the dimension of Object
Punishment is (31)
➢ The score in the dimension of Demanding is
(56)
➢ The score in the dimension of Indifferent is
(53)
➢ The score in the dimension of Symbolic
Reward is (75)
➢ The score in the dimension of Loving is (71)
➢ The score in the dimension of Object Reward
is (47)
➢ The score in the dimension of Neglecting is
(51)

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this study aimed to evaluate the


dynamics of parent-child relationships through
a comprehensive scale that measures
communication, emotional support, and conflict
resolution. The findings revealed significant
correlations between positive parenting
practices and enhanced emotional well-being in
children, underscoring the importance of
nurturing, supportive family environments.
These results have profound implications for
parenting strategies and interventions,
suggesting that fostering healthy
communication can significantly impact child
development. However, the study is limited by
its reliance on self-reported measures, which
may introduce bias, and the homogenous nature
of the sample, which may not reflect broader
societal trends.
