INSTRUCTIONS:

There are 40 statements in this booklet. They are statements about parenting and raising children. You decide the degree to which you agree or disagree with each statement by circling one of the responses.
STRONGLY AGREE

Circle SA if you strongly support the statement, or feel the statement is true most of all the time.
AGREE

Circle A if you support the statement, or feel this statement is true some of the time.
STRONGLY DISAGREE

Circle SD if you feel strongly against the statement, or feel the statement is not true.
DISAGREE

Circle D if you feel you cannot support the statement or that the statement is not true some of the time.
UNCERTAIN

Circle U only when it is impossible to decide on one of the other choices.
When you are told to turn the page, begin with Number 1 and go until you finish all the statements. In answering them, please keep these four points in mind:
1. Respond to the statements truthfully. There is no advantage in giving an untrue response because you think it is the right thing to say. There really is no right or wrong answer- only your opinion.
2. Respond to the statements as quickly as you can. Give the first natural response that comes to mind.
3. Circle only one response for each statement.
4. Although some statements may seem much like others, no two statements are exactly alike. Make sure you respond to every statement.
If there is anything you don't understand, please ask your questions now. If you come across a word you don't know while responding to a statement, ask the examiner for help.
