摘要：

Custody evaluation likely induces a motivation for parents to distort self-reports of parenting behavior. This study examined thesusceptibility of the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI) to exaggeration of positive parenting in an instructional manipulation simulating a custody evaluation versus research study in 64 university students who were parents of children between the ages of 3 and 15. Results suggested that the simulated custody context influenced PCRI scores in the expected direction. However, the social desirability indicator built into the measure was effective at detecting the attempt to present an overly favorable image of the parent-child relationship.
