    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Educational Measurement

    Background:

    • The Personality Research Form (PRF) construction procedure offers a robust framework for developing psychological instruments.
    • Evaluating educational interventions like the Power of Positive Parenting course requires valid and reliable assessment tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt the Jackson procedure for constructing the Personality Research Form to develop an instrument for the Power of Positive Parenting course.
    • To assess the content validity, reliability, and criterion validity of the newly developed instrument.

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary test with 161 items across knowledge, attitudes, and behavior scales for drinking and parenting was administered to 130 subjects.
    • Item analysis was conducted to refine the instrument, resulting in a final test of 94 items.
