Determination of reliability and construct validity of the Persian version of the Parental Emotional Response to Children Index (P-PERCI) in a sample of parents of children with ADHD was the aim of this study. A hundred and sixty parents who had at least six to ۱۵ years old ADHD children living in Tehran participated in the study. The Persian version of the PERCI in addition to several socio-demographic items was used to collect the data. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the five-factor model of P-PERCI was valid with an acceptable amount of explained variance. Also, the results of Cronbach’s alpha and Guttman-s λ۲ Coefficients showed that each of the five factors had acceptable reliabilities. Considering the factor structure and favorable psychometric properties of the PERCI, the scale can be useable in parents of ADHD children living in Tehran.
