Full Product Description

The fourth edition of the popular PSI is a 120–item inventory that focuses on three major domains of stress: child characteristics, parent characteristics, and situational/demographic life stress.

Features and benefits

  • Self–report inventory features 120 questions for parents of children ages 1 month to 12 years.
  • Commonly used as a diagnostic or screening measure to evaluate the parenting system.
  • Helps identify at–risk or problem areas in the child’s or parent’s behavior.
  • Short Form is approved by TRICARE’s Autism Care Demonstration (ACD) program.
  • Two domain scores and 13 subscales facilitate both treatment planning in relation to problem areas and the evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions.
  • Useful in family system evaluations such as custody evaluations or at–risk for dysfunctional parenting.
  • Major enhancements in this revision include: improved cultural sensitivity of item language, increased internal consistency of scales, the addition of age–based norms at the domain and subscale level, enhanced factor loading of items on scales, the addition of T scores to enhance interpretation, and a new normative sample that includes fathers.
  • Has been translated into more than 30 languages and maintains its factor structure and predictive abilities.
  • Expanded norms are organized by each year of a child’s age. T scores are provided, but percentiles remain the primary interpretive framework.
  • A Defensive Responding subscale indicates whether the parent is presenting a “minimizing” or “look good” bias to their responses.

Short form available

  • PSI–4–SF is an abbreviated version of the full–length PSI–4 that takes about 10 minutes to complete. One simple form contains everything you need for administering the measure and for scoring and profiling results. It’s ideal for use in schools, mental health clinics, and research. The PSI–4–SF Record/Profile Form is also available in Spanish.
  • The PSI–4–SF Interpretive Report contains a profile, a score summary table, a scale–by–scale interpretation of the protocol, and a list of possible diagnoses for the child.
  • The PSI–4–SF Score Report contains a percentile profile, a T–score profile, a score summary table, and a table of item responses.
  • The PSI–4–SF Record/Profile Form has been translated into U.S. Spanish. This product uses English norms only.
