The assessment of parenting is decades old, reflecting the field’s recognition—in both research and clinical practice—of the incredible influence caregivers have on their children. This presentation will provide an overview of parenting styles and behaviors, the various ways they have been assessed, and their associations with youth psychopathology and well-being. Using a narrative review approach, the talk will highlight several well-studied parenting constructs (eg, warmth, behavioral control, hostility/psychological control, emotion socialization parenting behaviors), a selection of measurement modalities (ie, self-report, parent-child observation, physiological), and representatives of each modality (eg, Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions Scales, the Relationship Affect Coding System, interbeat intervals). Finally, emphasis will be placed on the relations between parenting behaviors and youth psychopathology (eg, internalizing and externalizing symptoms) and well-being (eg, social competence, academic achievement, prosocial behavior, effective emotion regulation). In addition to learning about historical and current approaches to parenting assessment in the context of youth psychopathology and wellness, participants will be introduced to novel approaches, including wearables, used to measure associations between parenting behaviors and parent-child co-regulation. Relevant racial and cultural considerations in the relations between parenting style/behaviors and youth outcomes will also be reviewed. The assessment of parenting is an art and science that continues to evolve and advance empirically based interventions for improving parent-child relationships and treating youth psychopathology.
