“…Likewise, our findings do not necessarily generalize to other parenting assessments, of which there is no gold standard. Locke and Prinz (2002) reviewed 76 questionnaires, 27 interview schedules, and 33 observation systems assessing parental discipline and/or nurturance, including the CTSPC. Although, these various measures assess somewhat similar parenting dimensions, they differ in a variety of ways (e.g., response formats, time period assessed, developmental period assessed) such that findings for the CTSPC and the observation system used in the current study may not generalize to other self-report or observation measures.…”

Parenting assessments (the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale, CTSPC; and a mother-child observation) were examined for their ability to identify mothers with a history of physically abusing or neglecting their child. Participants were mothers of 139 children (age 3 to 6 years; 58 with a history of maltreatment). Mothers with a history of maltreatment reported higher scores on the Neglect, Nonviolent Discipline, and Psychological Aggression subscales of the CTSPC. These group differences, however, were limited to mothers who acknowledged a history of maltreatment, as mothers who concealed their maltreatment history rated themselves similar to controls. Observation of parental behaviors during a brief, nonstressful task did not discriminate mothers who maltreated from mothers who did not maltreat. The findings suggest that parental report using the CTSPC may be useful in assessing parenting behaviors among mothers with a history of maltreatment, although socially desirable responding is a significant problem.

“…O PSDQ foi elogiado num artigo de revisão de instrumentos de avaliação de práticas parentais (Locke & Prinz, 2002), sendo considerado uma das poucas medidas na área com boas características psicométricas, nomeadamente, bons níveis de consistência interna.

ResumoOs estilos parentais educativos constituem um conceito central na área de estudos da parentalidade e do desenvolvimento infantil. Neste sentido, décadas de investigação demonstram o impacto dos estilos parentais em vários aspectos do ajustamento socioemocional da criança e do adolescente. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as propriedades psicométricas e a validade fatorial da versão portuguesa de autorrelato do Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire. A amostra foi constituída por 2081 indivíduos portugueses (1085 mães; 996 pais) com fi lhos dos 3 aos 15 anos. Os resultados da análise fatorial confi rmatória replicaram a estrutura original de três fatores: autoritativo, autoritário e permissivo. Os índices de ajustamento revelaram uma boa adequação do modelo aos dados. Os níveis de consistência interna dos fatores autoritativo e autoritário revelaram-se adequados, mas o fator permissivo apresentou valores ligeiramente abaixo dos aceitáveis. Os valores de validade convergente e discriminante também se revelaram adequados. Apesar dos níveis menos aceitáveis de consistência interna do factor permissivo, o QDEP revelou, em geral, qualidades psicométricas adequadas para fi ns de investigação e clínicos, permitindo não só a avaliação de estilos parentais como também de diferentes dimensões e comportamentos parentais com impacto relevante no ajustamento socioemocional da criança e do adolescente. Palavras-chave: Estilos parentais educativos, análise fatorial confirmatória, propriedades psicométricas. AbstractParenting styles have been a central construct in the fi eld of parenting and child development studies. Many decades of research have supported the impact of parenting styles on several aspects of the social and emotional adjustment of children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties and the factorial validity of the Portuguese version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, through confi rmatory factor analysis. Data were collected from 2081 participants (1085 mothers; 996 fathers) with children between 3 and 15 years old. Results replicated the original three-factor structure: authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. The results of confi rmatory analysis indicated a good fi t of the model. Authoritative and authoritarian factors showed good internal reliability coeffi cients, but the permissive factor presented values slightly below acceptable levels. Convergent and discriminant validity also showed appropriate values. In general, and despite the less acceptable levels of internal reliability demonstrated by the permissive factor, PSDQ revealed psychometric properties appropriate for research and clinical purposes. This instrument not only allows for the assessment of parenting styles, but also enables the measurement of parental dimensions and behaviors with a signifi cant impact on child and adolescent well-being.

“…A parenting dimension consists of several parenting behaviors that bear a similar meaning and hence covary with each other. The two most commonly identified dimensions are parental support (also defined as warmth, responsiveness, acceptance, or nurturance) and parental control (also defined as restrictiveness, strictness, directiveness, discipline, hierarchical parenting, structuring, or monitoring; Cowan, Cowan, Schulz, & Heming, 1994;Dodge, Pettit, & Bates, 1994;Locke & Prinz, 2002;Maccoby & Martin, 1983;Rothbaum & Weisz, 1994). Parenting patterns or styles, then, consist of the combination of two or more parenting dimensions.…”
