مستخلص: | Despite the importance of emotional closeness (EC) in families, few researchers have accurately measured the construct in a systemic way. Additionally, existing measures rely on ratings from one informant, typically the mother, to provide information on closeness within the entire family system. We examined EC in 140 individuals (37 families) using the Emotional Tone Index for Families (ETIF), a novel, multi-informant measure that obtains bidirectional information about EC within every family relationship. The parent identified as most familiar with the family also completed two widely used single-informant measures: The McMaster Family Assessment Device and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales, version IV. The ETIF exhibited good test-retest reliability, high internal consistency, and concurrent validity with the single-informant measures. Though the primary respondent scores correlated highly with overall family closeness, results revealed only a modest association between closeness ratings within each dyad and parents rated higher levels of closeness toward their children than children rated closeness toward parents. These findings suggest that ratings from multiple informants provide valuable information about discrepancies in perceived closeness between family members and other complex family dynamics that cannot be captured by single-informant measures. Limitations, future directions, and implications for practice are discussed. (© 2020 Family Process Institute.) |

Además, las herramientas de medición existentes dependen de las valoraciones de un informante, normalmente la madre, para proporcionar información sobre la cercanía dentro de todo el sistema familiar. Analizamos la cercanía emocional en 140 personas (37 familias) usando el Índice de Tono Emocional para las Familias (ITEF), una herramienta de medición novedosa que obtiene información bidireccional sobre la cercanía emocional dentro de cada relación familiar por parte de varios informantes. El progenitor identificado como el más familiarizado con la familia también completó dos evaluaciones de un solo informante ampliamente utilizadas: el Dispositivo de McMaster de Evaluación Familiar (McMaster Family Assessment Device) y las Escalas de Evaluación de la Cohesión y la Adaptabilidad Familiar (Family Adapatability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales), versión IV. El ITEF demostró buena fiabilidad de prueba-reprueba, una alta coherencia interna y validez simultánea con las evaluaciones de un solo informante. Aunque los puntajes del encuestado principal se correlacionaron en gran medida con la cercanía familiar general, los resultados revelaron solo una asociación modesta entre las valoraciones de cercanía dentro de cada díada, y los padres indicaron niveles más altos de cercanía hacia sus hijos de lo que los hijos lo hicieron hacia sus padres. Estos resultados sugieren que las valoraciones de varios informantes proporcionan información valiosa acerca de las discrepancias en la cercanía percibida entre los miembros de la familia y otra dinámica familiar compleja que no puede captarse mediante las mediciones de un solo informante. Se explican las limitaciones, las futuras direcciones y las implicancias para la práctica. [Publisher, Chinese] 尽管情感亲密度在家庭中很重要,但很少有研究人员能以系统的方式准确地量化这一概念。此外,现有的测量方法依赖于单个信息提供者的评分,通常是母亲,来提供整个家庭系统内有关亲密程度的信息。本研究使用家庭情感基调指数(ETIF)对140个个体(37个家庭)的EC进行了研究。这是一种全新的、由多个个体提供信息的测量方法,可以在每个家庭关系中获得关于EC的双向信息。被确认为最熟悉家庭的父母也完成了两个广泛使用的单一信息测量即麦克马斯特家庭评估工具和家庭适应性和凝聚力评估量表的第四版。ETIF表现出良好的测试-重测可靠性,高度的内部一致性,以及与单一信息测量的同步有效性。 虽然主要受访者的得分与整体家庭亲密程度高度相关,但结果显示,每对夫妇之间的亲密度评分之间只有适度的关联,父母对孩子的亲密度评分高于孩子对父母的亲密度评分。父母对子女的亲密程度评分高于子女对父母的亲密程度评分。这些研究结果表明,来自多个信息提供者的评级提供了宝贵的信息,说明家庭成员之间感知的亲密度差异和其他复杂的家庭动态,这些信息不能被单一信息提供者的测量所捕获。本文讨论了本研究的局限性、未来的方向和对实践的意义。. |
