Questionnaire Analysis

The Parent/Child Social Competence – Conflict Behavior Questionnaire (PCSCCBQ-20) includes various items related to two main categories: social skills and conflict behaviors. Social skills refer to children’s ability to interact with others in a positive and cooperative manner, while conflict behaviors assess how children and parents respond to and manage conflicts, including aspects such as the degree of aggressiveness, conflict resolution skills, and communication during conflicts.

Purpose of the Questionnaire

The main purpose of the PCSCCBQ-20 is to evaluate the quality of relationships between parents and children, with an emphasis on social skills and behaviors that occur during conflict situations. The analysis of responses helps identify problematic areas by detecting difficulties in parent–child relationships and in conflict management behaviors. At the same time, it provides valuable information for improving relationships by supporting the development of interventions and programs that enhance social skills and facilitate positive conflict resolution. Furthermore, the questionnaire contributes to the understanding of interactions within the family context, offering data that can be used for research on social development and conflict management.

Questionnaire Calibration

The calibration of the PCSCCBQ-20 is typically based on responses to each item using a five-point Likert scale with the following levels: 1 (Never), 2 (Rarely), 3 (Sometimes), 4 (Often), and 5 (Always). These responses are analyzed to provide an overall picture of social skills and conflict behaviors. Higher scores may indicate greater difficulties in relationships and conflict management, while lower scores are associated with better social skills and more effective conflict-handling strategies. Through this process, researchers and mental health professionals can identify behavioral patterns and propose individualized interventions aimed at improving family dynamics.
