Abstract
In order to eliminate the confusion caused by five negatively worded items, the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) was modified, with these items reconstructed to form positive statements. Subjects completed both the original and the modified PBI, with little difference resulting in scores between the two versions. Use of the modified version is recommended over either the original PBI or Parker's recent revision in which the five confusing items were completely removed.Keywords
