Development of a short surrogate index for childrenâs socioeconomic status using house possessions and investigation of its validity
The study described here developed a short surrogate index for the childrenâs socioeconomic status (SES) using house possessions and investigated its validity. In Study 1, 192 pairs of parents and their middle school-aged children participated in a questionnaire survey. Based on the results, three items regarding possessions at home were selected for the short surrogate index out of the 17 items used in the Programme for International Student Assessment. Furthermore, the short surrogate index for the childrenâs SES was related to family income, parentsâ academic background, and hierarchy consciousness. In addition, it was found to have good test-retest reliability, thereby demonstrating its validity. To confirm that the item selection and validity in Study 1 did not involve sampling error, Study 2 investigated the reproducibility of validity with a different sample. One hundred ninetyfive pairs of parents and their middle school-based children responded to the questionnaire, and the results redemonstrated the indexâs validity. Studies in different disciplines using the short surrogate index can be conducted because SES can be both the main and confounding variable

Transmission of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction between Parents and Adolescents: The Critical Role of Parental Perceptions
While studies have documented the importance of basic psychological need satisfaction in parent-child relationships, a gap remains in understanding how parent and adolescent need satisfactions are associated. Using two longitudinal intergenerational datasets (200 parent-adolescent dyads and 408 mother-adolescent dyads; two waves), we examined whether (1) parentsâ need satisfaction predicts adolescentsâ need satisfaction (parental needs effect), (2) adolescentsâ need satisfaction predicts parentsâ need satisfaction (childâs needs effect), and (3) parental perception of adolescentâs need satisfaction predicts adolescentsâ need satisfaction (parental perception effect). Findings from cross-lagged path models analogous to actor-partner interdependence models only supported parental perception effects: parentsâ T1 perception of their adolescentâs need satisfaction predicted their adolescentâs T2 self-reported need satisfaction, especially for autonomy and competence needs. Findings highlight the importance of parentsâ perceptions, which may benefit the design of new interventions for basic psychological needs
Basic psychological need satisfaction in parents and adolescents
This project aims to longitudinally examine the interplay between parentsâ own basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS), their perception of their childâs BPNS, and their childâs self-reported BPNS
