The two stimulus behaviors used in the CRAM are:

Children’s Relationship Attribution Measure (CRAM)

· ("Imagine your dad [mom] yelled at you,"

· "Imagine your dad [mom] criticized you")

For each parental behavior, children rated their

agreement with six attribution statements.

("My father's [mother's] behavior was due to something about him [her]--because he [she] was tired, or because he [she] was in a bad mood, or because that's the way he [she] is"),
("Do you think that your dad [mom] will criticize you for the same reason the next time he [she] criticizes you?"),
("Do you think that the reason your dad [mother] criticizes you affects other things that he [she] says or does to you, or other things that happen between the two of you?").
("Do you think your mom [dad] criticized you on purpose to hurt your feelings?"),
("Do you think that your mom [dad] was thinking only about herself [himself] when she [he] criticized you?"), and
("Do you think that your dad [mom] should he blamed for criticizing you?").

These questions were rate on a 6-point rating scale, ranging from disagree strongly to agree strongly.
