WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Father's Presence, FPQ Test

Father Presence Questionnaire (FPQ) Test

parental attitudefamily

This measure is used to assess an individual’s retrospective perceptions of their father’s role and involvement during childhood and adolescence. The Father Presence Questionnaire (FPQ), developed by Michael E. Lamb, is typically administered in clinical, counseling, or research contexts to support case formulation and treatment planning.

The instrument contains 103 items and typically requires about 19 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate perceptions and memories related to the father–child relationship, with emphasis on subjective experiences rather than objective family history. The Father Presence Questionnaire (FPQ) may help characterize perceived emotional connection, the clarity and content of internal representations of the father, and the extent to which the respondent experienced the father as psychologically present within the family system.
