Assessing Parenting Skills Through Role-Play: Development and Reliability

Columbia University

Sheldon D. Rose

University of Wisconsin-Madison

The development of a parenting role-play test is presented. The article briefly discusses the ad vantages of role-play tests over interviews, checklists, and direct observations. Item develop ment followed an empirically driven model suggested by Goldfried and D'Zurilla. The final par enting role-play test contained six common, yet difficult, parent-child situations. Judges used a scoring manual to rate parent's responses. The results indicated that the parenting role-play test could be scored with adequate reliability. Although the preliminary data gave indications of the role-play test's validity, further validation research is suggested. The application of the role-play test to social work practice is discussed.
