尽管缺乏评估其有效性的研究，但包括批评维度（CRIT）和情绪过度投入（EOI）在内的表达情绪测量越来越多地被用于评估儿童临床人群的亲子关系。在252名7-17岁的临床转诊儿童和青少年样本中，我们通过中立编码器观察了CRIT、EOI和亲子互动之间的对应关系。我们发现了对CRIT代码有效性的支持，与得分低或边缘范围的父母相比，高批评的父母表现出更多的对抗，消极，厌恶，严厉和更少的反应。相比之下，观察到的行为中没有一种与父母的情绪投入相对应，这表明这种结构在青少年样本中缺乏有效性，或者与情绪投入相对应的行为很难观察到。我们的结论是，高父母的CRIT可以作为有问题的亲子互动的指标。
Expressed emotion measures, encompassing dimensions of criticism (CRIT), and emotional overinvolvement (EOI) are increasingly being used to assess the parent-child relationship in child clinical populations, despite the lack of studies assessing their validity. We examined the correspondence between CRIT, EOI, and parent-child interactions as observed by neutral coders in a sample of 252 clinic-referred children and adolescents, ages 7-17 years. We found support for the validity of the CRIT code, with high critical parents showing more antagonism, negativity, disgust, harshness, and less responsiveness, compared to parents who scored in the low or borderline ranges. In contrast, none of the observed behaviors were found to correspond with parental EOI, suggesting either that this construct lacks validity with juvenile samples or that behaviors that correspond to EOI are difficult to observe. We conclude that high parental CRIT can be used as an index of problematic parent-child interactions.
