Abstract
This study addressed the question, Ideally, what are parents able to describe about their preadolescent and early adolescent children? A sampling of I 18 divergent items, involving favorable and unfavorable, inter- and intrapersonal characteristics of children were submitted to 591 parents who completed six-step Likert scales on each item. The intercorrelations of the 118 items were factored into 14 first-order and four second-order oblique factors. There is theoretical value of the findings per se, relevance to the psychology of parenting, child rearing, empathy, and use in future relating to concurrent and subsequent measures on this population. The sample used consisted of inadequately coping children nominated by their teachers for participation in a St. Francis Boys’ Homes sponsored early intervention wilderness experiential learning program called Passport for Adventure. The broadest parental concerns found in these data were (a) socialization and independence, (6) asocialization/aggression, and (c) flow of authority. © 1984 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
