Project Summary/Abstract Effective parenting is a critical component of healthy child development. Ineffective parenting skills have been implicated as contributing factors for childhood externalizing and internalizing symptoms, which may significantly disrupt children’s functioning and extend into adulthood. Effective tools to assess parenting and measure change in these domains over time will contribute to a more complete understanding of both normative and atypical developmental pathways. Thus, there is a need for parenting measures that are brief and low-cost, have strong psychometric properties and established norms, reduce social desirability biases, are culturally inclusive, and are sensitive to change. To address the need for a measure that meets these criteria, we have systematically developed the Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test (KEPT) over the past 10 years (K01MH093508; R21HD090145). In its current iteration, the KEPT is an online assessment for which parents/guardians answer questions in response to 15 brief vignettes of both common and challenging parenting scenarios. Developed for parents of children aged 5-12, the measure covers knowledge of parent- management skills known to be associated with childhood disruptive behavior disorders, including age- appropriate expectations, effective communication, planned-ignoring, rewards, consequences, attending to positive behavior, and praise. This proposed project will build on our previous work by accomplishing three new aims that will extend the utility and efficiency of the KEPT. Aim 1 is to develop new content for the Knowledge of Effective Parenting Test (KEPT) for domains of parenting that are associated with the development and maintenance of childhood internalizing symptoms. Aim 2 is to develop computer adaptive test (CAT) versions of the KEPT-Internalizing (KEPT-I) and KEPT-Externalizing (KEPT-E) that are calibrated in a nationally representative sample (N = 1,000). Aim 3 is to establish the reliability and validity of the KEPT-I and KEPT-E in a symptomatic sample (N = 200) and healthy controls (N = 100) over a 12-month interval. This measurement R01 will result in an expanded item pool for the KEPT with new content for domains of parenting that are associated with the development and maintenance of internalizing symptoms, along with CAT versions of the expanded test. This is important given the increasing rates of internalizing symptoms among school age children, and because these symptoms often co-occur with externalizing symptoms and are frequently underrecognized. The project has the potential to advance the way treatment developers operationalize and measure parenting knowledge and skills. This proposed project is consistent with NICHD’s mission to ensure “that all children have the chance to achieve their full potential for healthy and productive lives.”

项目总结/摘要 有效的养育是儿童健康发展的重要组成部分。无效的育儿技巧 被认为是儿童期外化和内化症状的促成因素， 严重扰乱儿童的功能并延续到成年期。评估养育子女的有效工具， 衡量这些领域随时间的变化将有助于更全面地了解这两个领域 正常和非典型的发展途径。因此，需要采取简短的养育措施， 低成本，具有强大的心理测量特性和既定的规范，减少社会期望偏差， 具有文化包容性，对变化敏感。为了满足这些需要， 标准，我们在过去10年中系统地开发了有效育儿知识测试（KEPT）。 年（K 01 MH 093508; R21 HD 090145）。在当前的迭代中，KEPT是一种在线评估， 家长/监护人回答问题，以回应15个简短的小插曲，既共同和具有挑战性的 育儿场景该措施是为5-12岁儿童的父母制定的，涵盖了父母- 已知与儿童破坏性行为障碍有关的管理技能，包括年龄- 适当的期望，有效的沟通，计划忽略，奖励，后果，注意 积极的行为和表扬。这个项目将建立在我们以前的工作，完成三个 新的目标将扩大KEPT的效用和效率。目标1是为 有效育儿知识测试（KEPT），用于与以下内容相关的育儿领域： 儿童期内化症状的发展和维持。目标2是开发计算机自适应 KEPT-I和KEPT-E的测试（CAT）版本， 全国代表性样本（N = 1,000）。目的3：建立KEPT-I量表的信度和效度 和KEPT-E在有症状的样品（N = 200）和健康对照（N = 100）中在12个月的时间间隔内。这 测量R 01将导致KEPT的扩展项目池，其中具有用于养育领域的新内容 与内化症状的发展和维持相关，沿着CAT版本 扩大测试。这一点很重要，因为在学龄儿童中， 儿童，因为这些症状往往共同发生的外在症状，并经常 被低估了该项目有可能推进治疗开发商的运作方式， 衡量为人父母的知识和技能。本拟议项目符合NICHD的使命， “所有儿童都有机会充分发挥其潜力，过上健康和富有成效的生活”。
