Measurement and Identification of Parenting Behaviors Associated with Social-Emotional Outcomes in Children: The Racial and Cultural Appropriateness of a Commonly Used Parenting Measure

Conclusion: Our results highlight the need to critically evaluate measures of parenting behaviors used in research studies with racially and ethnically diverse families.

Furthermore, a critical lens is important to mitigate the perpetuation of inaccurate research findings for Mexican-American and African American children.
