Primary Parental Responsibility for Child’s Future Needs
The scale has five, nine-point items that measure how much a parental role (mothers or fathers) generally has the primary responsibility for taking care of a child’s needs in the future. The relative role responsibilities of mothers and fathers is not measured in the scale per se. A proper comparison can be made if the scale is filled out once for mothers and then for fathers followed by an appropriate statistical test of the two scores.
