Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale (CTSPC)

The Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale (CTSPC) assesses discipling practices and consists of 10 items on different discipline tactics during the past 2 weeks on a 6-point frequency scale. Discipline tactics vary from explaining why something is wrong, distracting, punishing, verbal to physical aggression.

In Generation R, an adapted version of the CTSPC was used in both main caregivers and partners.
