Psychometric properties of the parental bonding instrument in a Spanish sample.
The Parental Bonding Instrument was translated into Spanish and administered to a sample of 205 Spanish primiparae 3 days after childbirth. Reliability, factorial structure and predictive validity for affective disorders were evaluated. The Spanish version of the PBI has psychometric features similar to those described in other cultures. However, the results suggest that in future research the predictive power of the "Control" factor in affective disorders might be improved by splitting it into two subfactors: "Overprotection" and "Restraint".
