TI  - The validity of the Parental Bonding Instrument as a measure of maternal bonding 
      among young Pakistani women.
PG  - 276-82
AB  - BACKGROUND: Parenting may have an important influence upon women's mental health 
      in societies characterized by strong male gender preference. The Parental Bonding 
      Interview (PBI) has been very widely used, but not yet formally evaluated in a 
      South Asian context. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the factor 
      structure, face and concurrent validity of the PBI as an assessment of maternal 
      bonding among young Pakistani women. METHODS: A total of 86 women, aged 20-35 
      years, were identified by door-knocking in two small catchment areas in 
      Islamabad/Rawalpindi, one characterized by higher and one by lower socio-economic 
      status. The PBI, the Clinical Interview Schedule Revised (CIS-R) and the Marital 
      Satisfaction Scale (MSS) were each administered by a female interviewer in the 
      respondent's home. RESULTS: All women agreed to be interviewed privately, the 
      response rate was 100%. Consistent with previous reports, PBI items loaded on two 
      well-characterized internally consistent scales, care and overprotection. In a 
      three-factor solution, the overprotection scale divided into two subscales 
      previously characterized as "Encouragement of Behavioral Freedom" and "Denial of 
      Psychological Autonomy". Concurrent validity was supported by correlations in the 
      expected direction between PBI care and overprotection subscales and both 
      psychological morbidity (CIS-R) and marital satisfaction (MSS). CONCLUSIONS: 
      Pakistani women seem to perceive and respond to PBI items as addressing parental 
      "control" or "overprotection" in a similar similar way to respondents from 
      western Anglophone cultures. This study provides further support for the core 
      construct validity of the PBI, and indicates a perhaps surprising degree of 
      sensitivity to cultural nuances.
