Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI) - Psychological Control

The Children's Report of Parental Behavior Inventory (CRPBI) was designed to assess parents' child-rearing behavior as perceived and reported by children. The CRPBI yields scores for three dimensions of child-rearing behavior: Acceptance, Psychological Control, and Lax Discipline. Acceptance involves traits such as child-centeredness, emotional support, and equalitarian treatment of the child. Psychological Control describes the degree to which parents use covert, psychological, methods of controlling the child's behavior. Lax Discipline refers to the degree to which parents establish and maintain limits (rules and regulations) concerning the child's activities.

In RADAR, only the Psychological Control subscale from the CRPBI was used. In RADAR Old Waves 1, 3, 4 and 5, adolescents reported about their parents' psychological control. In RADAR Old Waves 7-9, mother reports about themselves were used.
