Abstract
The present study describes the construction of a new inventory that measures parenting style on five independent dimensions: 1) Empathic communication; 2) Authoritarian leadership; 3) Valuation/compassion; 4) Avoidant leadership and 5) Mentalization. Existing models and inventories do not capture the same breadth and complexity of parenting skills as the present form. This inventory could potentially give a more nuanced picture of the individual’s parenting style and a more accurate indication of relevant areas of development. The results from our exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with two different parent samples (n = 592 individual parents) revealed that the five-factor structure demonstrated a significant model fit of the five parental dimensions. The results of the project so far provide a good foundation for further standardization and investigation of reliability and validity. Keywords: inventory, emotion-focused, parenting style, factor analysis
