This study examined the construct and concurrent validity of the Parenting Behavior Questionnaire-Head Start (PBQ-HS), a modification of the PBQ (Hart, Nelson, Robinson, Olsen, & McNeilly-Choque, 1998), with low-income African-American families with preschoolers. The study also investigated whether parenting styles differed by caregiver characteristics. The sample included 465 primary caregivers of urban Head Start children. Factor analyses yielded Active-Responsive, Active-Restrictive, and Passive-Permissive parenting dimensions. Concurrent validity data on Limit-Setting, Warmth, and Directiveness revealed similarities between the Active-Responsive and Active-Restrictive dimensions and Baumrind's authoritative and authoritarian dimensions, respectively. The Passive-Permissive dimension and Baumrind's permissive style differed. Low education levels and single parenthood were associated with Active-Restrictive and Passive-Permissive parenting. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
