Things About My Parents
We are interested to know more about your mother and your father. First we will ask about your mother‚ and then we will ask about your father.
Each number is followed by four statements that describe four different types of parents. For some‚ there will be a description of four types of mothers‚ and for others there will be descriptions of four types of fathers. In either case‚ read the four statements about the four types of mothers or fathers‚ and decide which one is the best description of your own mother or father. Different people’s mothers and fathers are different‚ and we want to know about yours.
Now please think about your mother and compare her to these descriptions of people’s mothers. If you do not ever spend time with your mother but another woman lives in your household instead‚ please respond about that woman. So‚ begin with number 1‚ and read the four descriptions. If your mother is most like the mothers in
the first statement‚ then circle the letter a in front of that statement. If she is most like the mothers in the second statement‚ then circle the letter b in front of that statement. If she is most like the mothers in the third statement‚ then circle the letter c in front of that statement. If she is most like the mothers in the fourth statement‚ then circle the letter d in front of that statement.
