The aim of this study was to investigate whether clusters of common questions asked in clinical parenting interviews with parents of troubled adolescents could contribute to the empirical assessment of parenting dimensions. Questions were derived from clinical experience and theory, and were presented in an interview with 101 parents of adolescents referred to child psychiatric outpatient clinics for emotional and behavioral disorders. Fourteen questions were formed within the parenting domain of warmth, 12 questions from the domain of control, five questions were about autonomy granting and six questions were about commitment. Scores clustered into nine subgroups: Contact, Empathy, Appreciation, Setting Limits, Consistency, Monitoring, Parenting Priority, Involvement and Autonomy Granting. Raters also made an overall judgment of the presence of parental negative attributions during the interview. The inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and convergent validity of the subgroups were satisfactory, and the bias of socially desirable responding was limited. Directions for further research are suggested.

2 kinds of parental beliefs: endorsed rearing philosophy (authoritative-authoritarian dimension) and affective attitude toward child (positive-negative affect dimension) were examined in 20 normal and 36 depressed mothers as long-term predictors of their rearing behaviors and interaction patterns with their children, and of their ratings of child externalizing problems (Achenbach CBCL). The beliefs were measured when the children were toddlers (Time 1), and maternal behaviors 2-3 years later (Time 2). Mothers' endorsement of the belief in authoritative parenting predicted their frequent avoidance of prohibitive interventions. It also predicted maternal autonomy-granting to the child (more compliant and liberal responses to child-initiated control interventions). Endorsed child-rearing philosophy was a relatively more important predictor of behavior for normal mothers, and affective attitude toward child for the behavior of depressed mothers. Both actual child noncompliance and parental beliefs predicted mothers' ratings of externalizing problems in their children. The former was relatively more important for normal and latter for depressed mothers.
