Scale: Student Perceptions of Parents' Encouragement Behavior
(5 items) reported standardized alpha = .69
Source: Lab developed
This scale assesses the extent to which a student perceives that the parent
encourages behavior conducive to achievement (i.e., intrinsic motivation to
learn, strategy use, and academic and social self-efficacy) during homework
involvement.
Response format and scale
All items in the scale use a Not true to Very true response format:
Not true = 1, A little true = 2, Pretty true = 3, Very true = 4
Instructions
Dear Student, Families do many different things when they help children
with school. Please think about how your family helps you with school
and fill in the circle that matches what is most true for them. Thank you!
Scale scoring
Total scale scores range from 5 to 20. Higher scores indicate that the child
perceives more explicit behaviors by his or her parents.
