WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Parental Identity Questionnaire, CBIRAI Test

Parental Identity Questionnaire (CBIRAI) Test

The measure assesses how parents perceive and internalize their role within the family system. The Parental Identity Questionnaire (CBIRAI) is used to characterize the degree to which caregiving and provider roles are integrated into self-concept and reflected in attitudes toward parenting responsibilities.

It consists of 72 items and typically requires about 14 minutes to complete. Findings may be used to inform clinical formulation or research focused on parental role identification, role strain, and areas of alignment or discrepancy between perceived expectations and lived parenting experience.

The Parental Identity Questionnaire (CBIRAI) can be administered with mothers or fathers when a brief, structured self-report is needed to describe individual differences in parental identity and related role orientation.
