Abstract
Summary Some questions have arisen with regard to the traditional PARI factor solution: (a) Can an acquiescence response set (ARS) factor be found? (b) Can the dimensions of the circumplex model of maternal behavior be found in the PARI? (c) What is the influence of social desirability in the PARI? The factors of five factor analyses were rotated to test the adequacy of a proposed alternative factor solution with three factors: ARS, Autonomy vs Control, and Love vs Hostility. The results were positive. A second aim of the study was to verify the correlations of the PARI factors with social class in Belgian samples (Ns # 533 and 95 mothers, respectively, in two communities). So far as the traditional factors are concerned, the results confirmed the findings in the U. S. The correlations of the alternative factors with social class give an idea of the parental attitude correlates of social class, without being ARS confounded.
