    AbstractThis paper describes the development and preliminary validation of a self-administered instrument designed to measure parents/caregivers' responses to children's pain episodes. For empirical validation purposes, a 60-item inventory was answered by 401 adults whose children's ages ranged from 6 to 16 years (mean=10.44, and SD=2.25 years). Factor structure and item analyses led to a 37 item inventory with three interrelated scales, namely: solicitousness (n=15 items), discouragement (n=10 items), and promotion of well-behaviors and coping (n=12 items). The three scales had good internal consistency, with coefficient alphas of 0.87, 0.83 and 0.87, respectively; they also showed good criterion-related validity.
