Objective:
This research presents the construction of an attributional questionnaire concerning the different parental models and factors that are involved in family interactions.
Method:
A mixed methodology was used as a foundation to develop items and respective pilots that allowed checking the validity and internal consistency of the instrument using expert judgment.
Results:
An instrument of 36 statements was organized into 12 categories to explore the parental models according to the following factors: parental models, breeding patterns, attachment bonds and guidelines for success, and promoted inside family contexts. Analyzing these factors contributes to the children's development within the familiar frown, and the opportunity for socio-educational intervention.
Conclusion:
It is assumed that the family context is as decisive as the school context; therefore, exploring the nature of parental models is required to understand the features and influences that contribute to the development of young people in any social context.
