Extract

A test instrument is presented which utilises role-play techniques to assess parenting skills in terms of behaviour modification techniques. The validity of the test is confirmed by its ability to measure established parenting skills as well as those acquired in a parent training exercise. The test should prove to be particularly useful in evaluating parent training programmes.
