Abstract

Examined the discriminatory power of the Questionnaire sur la résolution des conflicts (QRC) to distinguish abusive parents or parents considered at risk of committing abuse toward their children from parents who were not. The QRC is the French-Canadian translation of the Conflict Tactics Scales. This instrument assesses different possible ways parents could deal with parent-child conflict. In this study, 3 scales of violence tactics were used: Verbal Aggression, Minor Physical Violence, and Severe Physical Violence. Frequency scores of parents who reported difficulties in their parent-child relationship were compared with those of parents who reported no such difficulties.

RESULTS supported the QRC's discriminatory power regarding these 2 parental groups based on the Verbal Aggression scale and the Minor Physical Violence scale. (English abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
