Background:
The development of efficient, scalable, and precise tools to assess knowledge of evidence-based parenting strategies is critical, particularly as increased parenting knowledge is a core target of many intervention programs.
Objective:
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a computerized adaptive testing version of the Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test-Internalizing module (KEPT-I CAT).
Methods:
Using computerized adaptive testing simulations from a large (n=1000) national dataset, we compared the performance of the KEPT-I CAT to both the full-length Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test-Internalizing module and a 10-item static short form (KEPT-I Brief).
Results:
Results indicated that the KEPT-I CAT achieved comparable efficiency to the KEPT-I Brief (10 items), while demonstrating superior psychometric properties and modestly reducing the potential for practice effects.
Conclusions:
Given these advantages, the KEPT-I CAT is well-suited for post-intervention assessment and may facilitate research examining how increases in parenting knowledge relate to changes in behavior and reductions in child internalizing symptoms.

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
