%0 Journal Article %T Convergent Validity and Reliability of the Hebrew version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) in Hebrew-Speaking Israeli-Arab Families %A Yosi Yaffe %J - %D 2018 %R 10.5964/ijpr.v12i2.303 %X The study examined the convergent validity and reliability of the Hebrew-translated 32 items of the Parenting Styles and Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ) among Israeli-Arab families, who speak Hebrew as their second language. 187 adolescents (116 boys; 64 girls; 7 participants did not report their sex) and one of their parents (106 fathers; 81 mothers) completed the PAQ and the PSDQ (respectively). Subject to two exceptions (alphas below .60), the instrument¡¯s scales exhibited an acceptable internal consistency (.64 ¡Ü ¦Á ¡Ü .89) and good convergence with the PAQ scales (with mid- to large-size correlations). Taken together, the findings suggest that the PSDQ in its Hebrew version could be acceptable for assessing parenting styles among literate Hebrew-speaking populations. The limitations and implications concerning this conclusion are discussed, along with some cultural aspects %K [parenting styles %K convergent validity %K reliability %K PSDQ %K PAQ] %U https://interpersona.psychopen.eu/index.php/interpersona/article/view/3559
