A questionnaire to assess parental attitudes.
DESCRIPTION: The questionnaire has two versions – to examine the mother and the father. Sheets contain 50 diagnostic statements each, grouped in five dimensions, which correspond to five parental attitudes: acceptance-rejection, excessively demanding, autonomy, inconsequent, excessively protecting. Examinees indicate on a five-point scale how strongly they agree or disagree with each statement.
RELIABILITY: High internal consistency indices for both versions – mothers and fathers.
VALIDITY: Construct validity examined with factor analysis and psychological gender inventory as well as retrospective assessment of own parents’ attitudes; numerous evidence of criterion validity (results of several special groups).
NORMS: Based on results of representative sample of 3249 females and 2786 males; standard ten, created separately for women and men differing in age, education, number and age of children in the family.
APPLICATIONS: For psychologists investigating family- and education-related problems; for scientific research.
