However, the participants did not know which questions went along with which parenting style(s). The survey titles that identified which parenting style corresponded to specific questions were eliminated and changed to “Parenting Style, #”. This was done to avoid any biased against parenting style perception. The questions on this survey were based on a 6-point scale range with 1 being never and 6 as always (Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen & Hart, 1995). Some of the questions for Authoritative, Authoritarian and Permissive parenting styles were: “I’m responsive to my child’s feelings and needs.”, “I explain the reasons behind my expectations:”, “I explode in anger towards my child:”, “I remind my child that I am his/her parent:”, “I find it difficult to discipline my child:” and “I ignore my child’s bad behavior:” (Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen & Hart, 1995).
