Abstract

The Parents' Preference Test (PPT) is an attempt to construct a picture-based, objective measure of parenting style, in order to create a starting point for designing an intervention. The PPT measures four different constructs: Focus of Attention, Experiential Modality, Regulation Style and Energy. Since its publication nearly a decade ago, the PPT has been used in several Danish institutions, but the initial data stem from a rather select sample, wherefore it seems pertinent to re-evaluate the initially established psychometric properties.The current study is a re-investigation of these properties of the PPT, based on a new sample of 1466 subjects. It was found that three out of the four PPT scales are Rasch-homogeneous, whereas the final scale (Energy) is not. Hence, the PPT does display valid psychometric properties, albeit to a lesser degree than initially assumed.
