Revised Family Communication Patterns Instrument (RFCP)

Knowledge

The RFCP measures perceived conversation and conformity orientations through twenty-six statements scored as two separate dimensions. Family members may report different climates, and four later pattern labels summarize continuous configurations. Perspective, classification rules, cultural evidence, and context must remain visible rather than turning scores into diagnoses or family-quality rankings.
