WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Normative Attitudes in Parenting Test

genderparental stance

This self-report questionnaire assesses attitudes toward gender roles and expectations in parenting and family life. Normative Attitudes in Parenting is designed to help characterize the extent to which respondents endorse traditional versus more egalitarian views related to parental responsibilities and childrearing practices.

Developed by Diana Baumrind and Eleanor E. Maccoby, it includes 38 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as reflecting normative beliefs about how caregiving and family roles “should” be organized, and may be used to inform clinical formulation, consultation, or research focused on family functioning and social attitudes. Normative Attitudes in Parenting is best interpreted in conjunction with relevant contextual, cultural, and demographic information and should not be used as a standalone diagnostic measure.
