Abstract: Examined the validity of the parent and child scales of the French version of the Parenting Stress Index (PSI). Results suggest the two main factors of the PSI represent valid and relatively independent sources of information, and that the PSI may be particularly useful in assessing combinations of stressors, which appear to be harmful for the parent-child relationship.
