Exploring the reliability of measures of family relations, parental attitudes, and parent-child relations in a disadvantaged minority population
1993
McGuire, John | Earls, F.
A review of parenting questionnaires showed that a number did not have published test-retest reliability, and had not been developed with minority or disadvantaged parents. Four measures were selected for further study: Parental Attitudes to Childrearing, the Parental Acceptance Rejection Questionnaire, Raising Children, and the Conflict Tactics Scale. Forty mothers, living in economically disadvantaged inner-city locations, completed the measures twice, from 2 to 4 weeks apart. Significant test-retest reliability was established for all four measures and internal consistency was similar to published reports. Some reservations were noted about the relevance of certain questions for parents living in stressful conditions.
