Parent-child interaction
In the broadest sense, it means the process of organizing joint activities between a child and a parent. Child-parent interaction is a dynamic system: the child and the parent adapt to each other, changing their behavior and attitude to each other (child-parent attitude) in the process of interaction. To assess this type of interaction, questionnaires for parents have been developed and are used, which can be divided into behavioral questionnaires (for example, the Bailey Social-Emotional Questionnaire, the Parent-Infant Caregiving Touch Scale) and attitude questionnaires (for example, the Methodology for the Analysis of Family Education by E. G. Eidemiller, V. V. Yustitskis, the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale, the Assessment of Mother-Child Attachment), as well as scales for expert assessment filled out during the observation of the behavior of the parent and the child. These questionnaires and scales describe various characteristics (see Characteristics of Parent-Child Interaction in Chapter 2.11 Key Psychological Concepts in Educational Psychology).
