TITLE: CONSTRUCTION AND STANDARDIZATION OF PERCEIVED PARENTING STYLE SCALE
ABSTRACT: This paper describes the construction and standardization of a measure of perceived parenting style. Baumrind (1971) proposed four parenting styles namely authoritative, authoritarian and permissive. These were taken as basic consideration for the development of the scale. In the scale three dimensions as authoritarian, democratic and negligent were taken. The final 39 items were drafted by passing through the procedure of expert checking, preliminary try out and final try out. The scale has the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient for Authoritarian = 0.79, Democratic=0.85, Negligent= 0.87. Construct validity and discriminant validity was also worked out.
KEYWORDS: Perceived parenting style, adolescents, reliability, and validity.
