Factor Structure and Factorial Replication of the Children'S Roles Inventory

The Children's Roles Inventory (CRI) is a 60-item measure designed to assess four roles hypothesized to be an important part of the alcoholic family system. The four childhood roles are (a) the Hero, (b) the Mascot, (c) the Lost Child, and (d) the Scapegoat. Using data from three samples of adult children of alcoholics (separately and combined), principal components analyses with oblique rotations were carried out. Results indicate that the CRI is made up of four identifiable factors, which are composed of items written for those same subscales. Employing Cattell's s index of factor pattern replication as well as Tucker's coefficient of congruence, the four factors were found to replicate in all three samples. Four items written for the Mascot subscale did appear problematic, and recommendations for this subscale are presented.
