Abstract
The Shared Family Identity (SFI) scale provides a way to examine intergroup connections and perspectives between different kinds of members of a family unit. The SFI scale has been used quite frequently in conjunction with intergenerational research and scholarship conducted from the standpoint of communication accommodation theory. Scholars have used the scale to examine the degree to which a strong sense of family identity is shared between a child and parent. J. Soliz and J. Harwood used structural equation modeling to establish the SFI scale. In the context of mother-in-law relationships, C. E. Rittenour and J. Soliz provide additional evidence for the validity of the SFI scale. Stepparent engagement in appropriate accommodation behaviors is positively related to the overall SFI development with stepchildren. The relationships and associations between the development of SFI across the varied types of dyadic family relationships presents further evidence of the concurrent validity of the SFI scale.
