Description:
If young adult participants have become a parent, they are asked to rate their satisfaction with different aspects of the parenting role and how they feel about different aspects of their life since becoming a parent compared to before they became a parent. In year 16, we also ask 4 question of our original parent participants, referring to the affection and relationship quality with their adult child. In the measure referenced here, we ask these same questions of the young adult, referencing their feelings about their relationship with their parent.
