The psychometric properties of the Parenting Scale (Arnold, O'Leary, Wolff, and Acker, 1993), a 30-item instrument originally developed to assess the discipline practices of parents of preschool children, were examined for parents of middle school students. Subjects were 298 parents of middle school student identified as at-risk for problem behavior. An exploratory factor analysis identified two factors labeled 'Overreactivity' and 'Laxness', closely resembling two of the factors found by Arnold et al., but each of these factors contained only six items. Confirmatory factor analyses, using data from the first two assessments, replicated this factor structure. The factors were significantly correlated with measures of parents' behavior, with scales from the child Behavior Checklist and Parent Daily Reports, and with the Beck Depression Inventory. The Laxness factor was less robust than the Overreactivity factor.
育儿量表（阿诺德、奥利里、沃尔夫和阿克，1993年）最初是为评估学龄前儿童家长的管教方式而编制的一份包含30个条目的工具，本研究针对中学生家长对该量表的心理测量特性进行了检验。研究对象为298名被认定有问题行为风险的中学生家长。一项探索性因素分析确定了两个因素，分别标记为“过度反应”和“宽松”，这与阿诺德等人发现的两个因素非常相似，但每个因素仅包含六个条目。使用前两次评估的数据进行的验证性因素分析重复了这一因素结构。这些因素与家长行为的测量指标、儿童行为清单和家长每日报告中的量表以及贝克抑郁量表显著相关。“宽松”因素不如“过度反应”因素稳健。
