Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the validity of the Family Relationship Questionnaire (FRQ) in Hungary. The FRQ was filled out together with the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) by 1017 healthy Hungarian people. The original factor structure of the FRQ did not fit well in the Hungarian sample, but with some modifications – based on modification indices – adequate fit indices could arise. The FRQ scales showed significant relations (moderate to high) with the PBI which confirmed the convergent validity of the scales. Four of the FRQ scale turned to be cross-culturally valid scales. The reliability and validity of Dominance scale in Western cultures should further be examined.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the validity of the Family Relationship Questionnaire (FRQ) in Hungary
Respondents filled out a questionnaire battery consisting of the FRQ and the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI)
FRQ scale means and SD scores of our study and of the original study of Chen et al (2015) can be found in Table 1 along with Cohen's d values to indicate the size of differences
Summary
The aim of this paper was to test the reliability and convergent validity of the Hungarian FRQ. We aimed to test reliability of scales and to investigate cross-cultural structural validity through testing if Hungarian factor analytic structure fits to original model. We aimed to test convergent validity with examining correlations of PBI subscales to FRQ factors and we have measured the differences between male and female respondents along with differences between single children and children with siblings. The structure of the Family FRQ shows cross-cultural stability, Hungarian factor structure fit to the original Chinese structure (Chen et al, 2015). 4. Only children will score higher on FRQ Encouragement scales ( to results of Chen et al, 2015)
