The purpose of this study was to provide school psychologists and other school mental health professionals with the information necessary to evaluate and respond effectively to parental concerns about their children's friendships. Specifically, the study identified parental concerns that provided useful information about children's friendships, described the frequency with which these concerns were raised by parents of typical children, and determined which concerns accurately described the worries of parents whose children were referred for friendship problems. A 20-item parent questionnaire was constructed from a review of the literature on children with friendship difficulties. An examination of the psychometric properties of the questionnaire showed it to have adequate internal consistency reliability, and confirmed three of its four scales. Comparisons of parent responses for referred children and for typical children showed significant differences on the questionnaire's total score, scores within each of the four scales, and on 15 of the items. The implications for school psychological practice are discussed.
