Abstract :

Parenting is a complicated sum of parenting behaviors, cognitions, attributes and values. Parenting dimensions are the conceptualization of parenting behaviors and practices. Each dimension affects parenting styles and therefore, child outcomes. Parenting dimensions are also a crucial factor revealing potential effects on the development of child. The aim of the study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of parent as social context questionnaire-(child and parents report) (PSCQ). The PSCQ is a self-report questionnaire that measures six dimensions of parenting: Warmth, structure, autonomy (positive dimensions), rejection, chaos and coercion (negative dimensions). This 20 itemed Likert type questionnaire aims to evaluate the parenting perception of both parents and the child. The questionnaire has been applied to 220 children between the ages of 7-14 and their parents. Internal consistency reliability for six of parenting dimensions has been calculated separately for both child and parent versions. Internal consistency reliability coefficients were in the range of 0.78-0.81 for child self-reports and 0.76-0.83 for parent self-reports. The results of factor analysis prove six factors structure that is present at the original structure. In conclusion, PSCQ is a reliable and valid tool to measure the parenting dimensions perception of Turkish school children and their parents.
