Parental expectations for child development align with typical adaptive abilities, as measured by the Predictive Adaptive Ability Questionnaire (PAAQ). Further research is recommended to explore chronic illness impacts.

Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Parental Expectations

Background:

  • Parental expectations significantly influence child development trajectories.
  • Assessing these expectations is crucial for understanding developmental outcomes.
  • The Predictive Adaptive Ability Questionnaire (PAAQ) is a tool for measuring these expectations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess parental expectations of future child development in non-disabled children.
  • To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Predictive Adaptive Ability Questionnaire (PAAQ).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Predictive Adaptive Ability Questionnaire (PAAQ) for assessment.
  • Collected data from 240 parents of non-disabled children.
  • Analyzed reliability using internal consistency, test-retest, and interrater measures.

Main Results:

  • The PAAQ demonstrated strong reliability (overall 0.90, test-retest 0.99, interrater 0.83).
  • Parental expectations were found to be consistent with normal adaptive ability developmental standards.
  • No significant deviation from developmental norms was observed in parental expectations.

Conclusions:

  • Parental expectations for child development are generally aligned with established norms.
  • The PAAQ is a reliable instrument for measuring parental expectations.
  • Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the influence of chronic illness on these expectations.
