TEODORO, Maycoln L. M.; ALLGAYER, Mariana  e  LAND, Bruna. Development and factorial validity of Family Climate Inventory (FCI) for adolescents. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.3, pp.27-39. ISSN 1516-3687.

The family climate refers to the perception of several features of family relationships by its members. The evaluation of this construct can contribute as for the theoretical understanding as for clinical comprehension of family dynamics. This study intended to develop and investigate the Family Climate Inventory (FCI) psychometrics properties for teenagers. Participated 276 teenagers with ages between 12 and 18 years from public and private schools. Participants responded to an empirical version of FCI (32 items), which investigated the family climate trough four factors: cohesion, support, hierarchy and conflict. Exploratory factorial analysis reduced the items number of FCI to 22 with 41.88% of explained variance. Analysis with Cronbach’s Alpha showed good internal consistency. These results were supported by confirmatory factorial analysis, indicating that FCI has adequate psychometrics properties and can be an important strategy on family relationships investigations.
