This measure assesses perceived coordination and fit of everyday roles within a family system. Functional Role Consistency is intended to characterize how well family members align expectations, share responsibilities, and support one another in routine tasks.
Developed by Bruce J. Biddle and Edwin J. Thomas, it consists of 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate their personal experience of family interaction, including cooperation and role-taking. Scores are used to summarize current functioning and to identify areas of relative strength or strain that may inform clinical formulation or family-focused intervention planning.
Functional Role Consistency is commonly administered to an individual respondent, with interpretation strengthened when multiple family members complete the measure for comparison of perspectives over time or across participants.
