The study was designed to construct a valid and reliable scale meant for adolescents to measure the dimensions
of parenting. A mixed method approach was used to construct the scale. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was
run to explore the factor structure of the scale. A Varimax rotation method was used, which yielded six factors
(viz., supportive, controlling, compassionate, aggressive, avoidant, and orthodox/conventional parents), and
accounted for 60% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) validated the findings of the
exploratory factor analysis. The sample for confirmatory factor analysis comprised 208 boys and 292 girls,
whose ages ranged between 13 and 19 years (Mage = 16.58, SD = 5.18). This convenient sample was recruited
from urban and rural areas of five divisions of Punjab (Pakistan). The CFA supported the measurement
structure of parenting dimensions retained after EFA, except for the last factor (avoidant parents), which was
excluded from the final model, leaving 35 items in the final scale. The Cronbach‟s alpha coefficients for factors
ranged from .51 to .85. Convergent and divergent validity of the scale was also determined
