The Bronfenbrenner Parent Behavior Questionnaire was evaluated as a research technique for measuring children's perceptions of how their parents treat them. The BPB was administered to 81 male and 131 female elementary-school children. Reliabilities, validities, correlations between mother and father, and mean comparisons between boys and girls are reported. In addition, the BPB data were factor-analyzed. Three BPB factors derived from this analysis were labeled Loving, Punishment, and Demanding, and they were compared to parental-behavior dimensions reported by several researchers using a variety of instruments and procedures. The BPB appears to have considerable promise as a research instrument.
