Confirmatory analysis of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions
An important research field in family studies relates to the role parenting practices can have on several domains of children's development. Regarding to parenting styles, it was Baumrind's conceptualization that was responsible for a relevant research boost in this area. She proposed a model contemplating three different styles: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. The aim of our study was to examine the factor structure, internal consistency and others psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ). The participants were 424 parents (mainly mothers, 81.2%) from Algarve (South of Portugal), that answered to PSDQ and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The instrument comprises 32 items: 12 questions regarding the authoritative style, 15 questions regarding the authoritarian style, and 5 questions regarding the permissive style. Several competing models (i.e., one and three-factorial, and another where latent variables were organized in a 1 st and 2 nd order factors) were tested in regards to PSDQ factor structure using confirmatory factor analysis. A fourth model, contemplating inter-correlations between item 7 and 8 was also proposed, which showed adequate fit and internal consistency. These findings support the PSDQ original structure. Implications concerning the use and contributes to social and emotional child' adjustment are discussed.
Construction and Validation of Scale of Parenting Style
This paper describes the development and standardization of a measure of perceived parenting style. The four styles namely authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and negligent proposed by Baumrind (1971) are scaled based on a quadrant of high and low levels of parental responsiveness and control suggested by Maccoby and Martin (1983). The items are constructed on socio-cultural and educational circumstances of adolescent students in Kerala, India. Hence, the tool will be largely suitable for scaling the four parenting styles among south Asian adolescent students. The tool has good criterion related validity and test-retest reliability. Parents have huge impact on a person's life. Number of studies in the area of parenting matches its importance on the developing person. Parenting process combines all the activities of the parents that intended to support their children's wellbeing. One of the most studied approaches to understanding parental influences on human development is concept of parenting style (Baumrind, 1967). Baumrind proposed parenting styles as correlates to socialization of the children. Then many researches recognized the importance of researching role of parenting style in child development (Kordi,
Perceptions of Parents Questionnaire: Evidence for a Measure of Parenting Styles 1
Parenting styles have been investigated for several decades and are considered predictors of behavior among young individuals. This study's objective was to identify evidence for the factorial validity and internal consistency of the short version of the Parental Perception Questionnaire (PPQ-20), an instrument that is useful for assessing parenting styles. The participants were 386 elementary-school students (208 men) with a mean age of 12.7 years (sd = 1.60). The participants answered two versions of the PPQ, each one composed of 20 items, to assess the young individuals' perceptions concerning their fathers (PPQ-20-F) and mothers (PPQ-20-M). The analysis of principal components (varimax rotation) revealed a two-component structure (responsiveness and demandingness) for both versions, which accounted for about 40% of the total variance. These components presented Cronbach's alpha scores above 0.70. Finally, there is evidence this measure has factorial validity and inte...

Parents are one of the most important agents in child's development. They create, through their parenting behaviors and strategies, a healthy family environment, when children benefits a lot in terms of their psychological and social development. In the last two decades, the development psychologists have shown an increasing interest in measuring parenting styles and practices, using psychometric instruments. Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire is a well-known and wide used self-reported instrument to assess parenting styles in different cultural contexts. The aim of the present study was to adapt the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire to Albanian family context. The original scale was developed by Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen, & Hart (1995) and it aimed to evaluate 4-12 years old children's mother's and father's parenting styles. The Albanian version of the scale was administered to mothers and fathers of 316 preschool children of 3-6 years old in four kindergartens in Tirana city. The analyses for the internal consistency and internal structure-related validity of the scale were tested. The data were analyzed and the results showed that the Albanian version of the scale had acceptable validity.

Título: Estilos parentales materno y paterno en conjunto: validación de la forma simple de la Escala de Evaluación del Estilo Parental Resumen: La Escala para la Evaluación del Estilo Parental (EEEP) pregunta a los adolescentes sobre los estilos educativos de sus padres por separado ("tu padre" y "tu madre") o de forma conjunta ("tus padres"), pero solo se ha evaluado la validez en la versión por separado. El objetivo de este traba-jo fue evaluar la validez de las inferencias de la versión conjunta. Se reclutó una muestra de 1507 adolescentes, de 12 a 18 años. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios en dos submuestras independien-tes. Después se probó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para com-probar la asociación de las subescalas de la EEEP con desenlaces de los adolescentes (optimismo, pesimismo y resultados académicos). Los resulta-dos muestran buenas medidas de ajuste de la estructura del instrumento. Además, las subescalas mostraron asociación con los desenlaces. La EEEP puede ser usada con fiabilidad en su forma conjunta, resultando en una re-ducción de ítems, los cual es a menudo beneficioso para la investigación. Palabas clave: Validación. Estilos parentales. Modelo de ecuaciones es-tructurales. Adolescencia. Abstract: Oliva's Escala para la Evaluación del Estilo Parental (EEEP) [Scale for the evaluation of parenting styles] asks adolescents about their parents' education styles separately ("your father" and "your mother") or in a combined way ("your parents"), but only the separated version has been tested for validity. The objective of this work was to carry out a validation of the combined version. A sample of 1507 adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years, was recruited. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were run in two independent subsamples. Then, structural equation models (SEM) were run in order to test the association between the EEEP's subscales and adolescent outcomes (optimism, pessimism, and academic achievement). Results showed a good fit of the instruments' structure. Furthermore, the subscales showed associations with the outcomes. The EEEP can be reliably used in its combined form, which results in a reduction of items, often beneficial for research.

The paper analyzes the psychometric properties of the G1 version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, a self-report instrument designed to investigate how adolescents or adults were parented during childhood. The sample included 1451 Italian adolescents in high school. Three studies tested the scale's structure, invariance, and convergent validity. The first found slightly acceptable fit indexes for a 40-item scale measuring three factors (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive styles); the factors presented good reliability (ρc .62-.96). Multigroup confirmative analyses found factor loadings invariant in the father version, whereas 12 items resulted not invariant in the mother version (second study). Good convergent validity was found with the Parental Bonding Index and the Parental Monitoring Scale (third study). Discussion of results is provided within the parenting styles literature.
Development and Validation of Parenting Style Scale
1 The study aimed to develop and validate the parent's version of indigenous Parenting Style Scale. A mixed method approach was used to develop the scale. Eight children (9 to 15 years) and eight parents (30 to 65 years) were selected for interviews to generate items. A sample of 300 parents (31 to 60 years) was used to validate the scale. Data were collected by using convenient sampling strategy. Varimax Rotation method through Principal Component Analysis was used to evaluate the factor structure of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis yielded six factors (Controlling, Compassionate, Conventional, Supportive, Avoidant, and Aggressive Parenting) that accounted for 47% of the variance. The Cronbach alpha coefficients for factors ranged from .62 to .77. The final scale comprised of 48 items. Convergent validity of the scale was established by computing the correlations between the scores on the indigenous scale and subscales of Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (Robinson, Mandelco, Olsen, & Hart, 1995). Results revealed that the indigenously developed Parenting Style Scale is a promising indigenous measurement tool.
