During the past several decades, the role of the parenting behaviors has been emphasized in child development literature and researchers have witnessed the advancement in the conceptualizations of parenting constructs and methodologies to assess these. Particularly, researchers have incorporated various methodologies to assess parenting behaviors into parenting studies, and tried to compromise psychometric and methodological problems that each method has by relying on multiple sources of data. Given this situation, review on advantages and disadvantages that each method of assessing parenting behaviors has seems important and needed not only for the better understanding of the current methodological trend and issues but also for the better designing of future parenting research. Thus, this paper focused on four methodological approaches to the assessment of parenting behaviors (parent report, child report, direct observational coding of parent-child dyads, and observer ratings) and reviewed their basic features, advantages, and disadvantages. In conclusion, important psychometric and methodological issues surrounding the assessment of parenting behaviors were reiterated and recent efforts to compromise these issues were discussed.
Abstract
During the past several decades, the role of the parenting behaviors has been emphasized in child development literature and researchers have witnessed the advancement in the conceptualizations of parenting constructs and methodologies to assess these.

Given this situation, review on advantages and disadvantages that each method of assessing parenting behaviors has seems important and needed not only for the better understanding of the current methodological trend and issues but also for the better designing of future parenting research. Thus, this paper focused on four methodological approaches to the assessment of parenting behaviors (parent report, child report, direct observational coding of parent-child dyads, and observer ratings) and reviewed their basic features, advantages, and disadvantages. In conclusion, important psychometric and methodological issues surrounding the assessment of parenting behaviors were reiterated and recent efforts to compromise these issues were discussed.
