Abstract
Pedersen, W. (1992). Parents' relations measured with PBI, mental health and conduct disorder in young adolescents. Nordisk Psykologi, 44, 241–255.
The paper presents a shortened, 20 item, Norwegian version of Gordon Parker's Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), utilized at a sample of 573 Norwegian adolescents, age 15–19. The instrument measures mothers' and fathers' “care” and “control/overprotection” as perceived by the adolescent. Through factor analyses the two dimensions of the instrument were clearly identified. Further the two dimensions showed associations with measures of depression/anxiety and conduct disorder; indicating that PBI scores may be general and unspesific risk factors for a broad range of psycho-social problems.
