Aim The aim was to explore the association between young adults’ retrospective
reports of mothers’ versus fathers’ parenting and relationship quality in
current relationships as well as views of the self as able to form healthy
relationships.
Procedure The participants were grouped in classrooms with no more than 15 people.
They were given packets with a demographic questionnaire, DPCS and
AORI
Materials
➢ Retrospective reports of parental behavior
-Descriptions of Parental Caregiving Style (DPCS)→modified
-nine sentences (three from each paragraph from the original DPCS)
that describe the parent’s caregiving behavior
-each statement is rated on a Likert scale from 1 (very
uncharacteristic) to 5 (very characteristic)
-the same thing is done for both mother and father
-six summary scores for both parents either warm/responsive,
cold/rejecting or ambivalent/inconsistent
➢ Relationship quality in current relationships
-Attachment and Object Relations Inventory (AORI)
-60 statements rated on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5
(strongly agree) that reflect the perception of relationships with
parents, peers, partners and the view of the self as able to form
secure/independent/close relationships with others
-results in 6 subscales
↳higher results=views of others as accessible and responsive,
relationships as meaningful and important, self as able to form close
relationships
