Abstract :
Out of the necessity of having an abbreviated form of the EMBU, a measure of perceived parental rearing behaviour, a short form (s-EMBU) consisting of three scales (rejection, emotional warmth and protection) with, respectively, 7, 6 and 9 items (plus 1 unscaled item) was developed from the original 81-item version. The factorial and/or construct validity and reliability of this s-EMBU were examined among samples of 2373 students from Italy, Hungary, Guatemala and Greece. The data were presented for the four national groups separately. The 23-item s-EMBU is recommended as a reliable functional equivalent to the 81-item early EMBU. Attention was drawn to the need for further research to explain some of the observed cross-national differences in the correlations between parental rearing styles and personality.
