Objective: The purpose of the present study was to construct and investigate the factor structure and validation of the parent - infant interaction questionnaire in Behshahr.

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to evaluate the construct validity. Result: According to the research findings, 3 factors and 19 items were identified. In addition, the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three - factor model of this questionnaire. To measure the reliability of the test, the KR-20 method was used, whose coefficients ranged from 0.610 to 0.803. Conclusion: The results indicate that the questionnaire has desirable psychometric properties and is a good tool for measuring mother - infant interaction.
