Abstract
Female college students (N = 425) completed a Mother's form of the Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI Q4) and the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability scale (MC). A week later the same Ss completed Q4 and the Edwards social desirability scale. Test-retest reliabilities of Q4 scales ranged from .52 to .81. Q4 scales were minimally affected by acquiescence and opposition sets but showed a significant extreme set. Factor analysis of Q4 scales yielded two major factors: Authoritarian Control and Family Disharmony. The Edwards scale had near zero correlation with all Q4 scales. The MC scale had significant correlations with five Q4 scales of the Family Disharmony factor.Keywords
