The article presents the stages of developing the Disturbed Family Relationships Questionnaire (Kwestionariusz do Badania Zaburzonych Relacji w Rodzinie, KBZRR). In the first stage, a questionnaire was developed, which consisted of 60 questions describing different aspects of disturbed relationships between parents and children. 185 women, aged 16-19 years, were assessed using this version of the questionnaire. After that, the items were reviewed, and the questions with weak variation were withdrawn. As a next stage, a factor analysis was performed, which allowed to elicit 5 factors: (1) Violence, (2) Overprotectiveness, (3) Coalition with the mother, (4) Lack of acceptance –Rejection, and (5) Indifference. Items with the lowest factor loadings and with the lowest indicators of factor specificity were withdrawn. The final version of the questionnaire consisted of 36 questions. Cronbach coefficient alpha reliabilities for each factor were high, as follows: 0,87 for Violence, 0,79 for Overprotectiveness, 0,83 for Coalition with the mother, 0,71 for Lack of acceptance – Rejection, and 0,79 for Indifference. The selected factors together explained 48% of variance using 36 items.
