This article examines the psychometric properties of the Greek adaptation of Child Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ)-Short Form, Mother, and Father versions. Data on the 24-item long measure were collected from 534 preadolescents and adolescents of the municipality of Ioannina. Participants were asked to report their agreement or disagreement on a 4-point Likert-type scale, developed to tap in to four factors (subscales), namely, (a) perceived warmth/affection, (b) perceived hostility/aggression, (c) perceived indifference/neglect, and (d) perceived undifferentiated rejection. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted first, to explore if the structure of the four-factor model of Child PARQ is corroborated with the Greek sample. Additionally, the internal consistency of the proposed four factors (subscales) and the global scale were examined through obtaining Cronbach's alphas and Gutman's split-half coefficients. The analyses provide preliminary, yet strong, evidence for the structural invariance of the Greek adaptation of Child PARQ-Short Form
