EEI
Eltern-Erziehungsstil-Inventar
Short abstract
The EEI measures four basic educational style dimensions as well as the cooperation with the partner and the school on two additional scales. It includes six scales with a total of 54 items: (1) love, (2) severity, (3) independence, (4) religiosity, (5) cooperation with partner, (6) cooperation with school. Reliability: Cronbach's alpha of the subscales varies between alpha = .71 and .93. Validity: The factorial structure was confirmed at the standardization sample (N = 4 296). In addition, the relationships with gender, number of children and educational level were found to be in line with expectations. Fathers tend to adopt a less warm and more austere parenting style. In families with many children, the emphasis is on education for personal responsibility and independence. In families with higher educational levels, cooperation with the partner is most successful. At the same time, upbringing is characterised by values such as independence and personal responsibility, while at the same time being less strict. Norms: Gender-specific norms exist for four age groups.
