BENETTI, Silvia Pereira da Cruz  e  BALBINOTTI, Marcos Alencar Abaide. Elaboration and psychometric evaluation of the Parental Practices Inventory. PsicoUSF [online]. 2003, vol.8, n.2, pp.103-113. ISSN 1413-8271.

The goal of this study is to develop a Parental Practices Inventory (IPP) assessing mothers and fathers’ socialization behaviors with school-age children. The need to build and verify the psychometric characteristics of the new instrument, based on social-cognition and systemic theoretical viewpoints, is systematically presented. A sample of 106 parents mothers and fathers with children aged from 6 to 10 years old was utilized to assess the psychometrics characteristics of the first version. Item and dimension analysis, correlation and exploratory factor analysis were performed on the results, which support the theoretical construct of the instrument. Further studies are still needed to obtain more data about the validity of the instrument IPP.
