    • Accurate measurement of family functioning is crucial for effective therapeutic interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the construct validity of the Family Relationship Index (FRI).
    • To determine if FRI scores correlate with therapist assessments of family functioning.

  • Construct validity was assessed by comparing FRI scores with therapist-rated family functioning measures.

    • Main Results:

    • The study found support for the construct validity of the FRI's composite index.
    • Significant support was obtained for the validity of the Family Cohesion subscore.
    • Evidence also supported the validity of the Family Conflict subscore.

    Conclusions:

    • The Family Relationship Index (FRI) demonstrates construct validity for its overall score, family cohesion, and family conflict.
    • The FRI is a potentially valuable tool for assessing family dynamics in clinical settings.
    • Further research may explore the validity of the expressiveness subscore and its application in diverse populations.
