Efficacy Measure

Description

In measuring efficacy, parents will indicate how able they feel to manage their emotions and parenting tasks. In the first portion of this efficacy measure, adapted from Caprara, Regalia, Scabini, Barbaranelli & Bandura (2004), parents are asked to rate on a scale from 1=not well at all to 5=very well how well they can manage 9 different emotions and tasks. In the second portion of the efficacy section of the parent interview, parents are asked to rate on a scale from 1=nothing to 5=a great deal how much parents feel they are able to perform 6 different parenting tasks.
