Studied the psychometric properties of the French-language Questionnaire on Parental Reactions to Children's Expression of Positive Emotions (QPRCEPE). The QPRCEPE includes 12 scenarios that may elicit positive affect in children. The scenarios are accompanied by 4 parental reactions: socialization, encouragement, reprimand, and discomfort. Two studies were conducted in Canada. The results of Study 1, performed with 164 mothers of children aged 4-7 yrs, showed good construct validity. The results of Study 2, performed with 200 mothers of children aged 4-7 yrs, showed that each QPRCEPE subscale had satisfactory internal consistency and high temporal stability. It is maintained that the findings are consistent with the model proposed by T. Dix (1991), according to which parents' emotional state affects their child rearing practices and their perception and interpretation of child behavior.
