The utility of the revised 56‐item Child's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI), an instrument less cumbersome than the 260‐item original, was examined. Study I found the instrument to be highly reliable at 1‐week and 5‐week retest intervals. Study II found the factor structure of the revision similar to that of the original, with Factor III somewhat less stable than the other two factors. It was concluded that, in general, the 56‐item CRPBI appeared to stand up well as a research instrument.
