Parenting Style Questionnaire

Participant Information Sheet

My name is Carly Reid and I am a PhD (Clinical Psychology) student at Curtin University of Technology. I am conducting research identifying patterns of parenting behaviour in parents of children aged 3-12 years. Parents who complete the online survey can enter the draw to win a $100AUD Coles/Myer or Amazon.com voucher.

By clicking on the link below, you are consenting to participate in this study. Please complete the survey only once, even if you have more than one child aged 3-12 years. Choosing to participate is completely voluntary and you will not be disadvantaged in any way should you choose not to participate or if you discontinue participation at any time. Your responses are completely anonymous, thus we are unable to withdraw your responses from the study once the questionnaire has been submitted. The data will be kept securely for 5 years at Curtin University and will be accessible only by myself and my supervisors. While you are unlikely to directly benefit from this research, this research may benefit the wider community in its understanding of parenting patterns and their relationship to important childhood outcomes. The results are likely to be published in a peer reviewed journal, but individuals will not be identifiable as no personal identifiable information is being collected.

Thank you very much for the time and effort in completing this questionnaire. If you have any queries about any of the information, please contact me on +61 8 9266 1398 or email carly.reid@curtin.edu.au or my supervisors, Professor Jan Piek, on +61 8 9266 7990 or j.piek@curtin.edu.au and Associate Professor Clare Roberts +61 8 9266 7992, or c.roberts@curtin.edu.au. If you wish to contact someone outside the study please contact Linda Teasdale, Ethics Committee Secretary on +61 8 9266 2784.
