This is a global rating system which is designed to produce information related to various socialization practices that have been identified in research on parenting (Maccoby & Martin, 1983). Items were developed during pilot observations in Head Start centers in the Charlottesville, Virginia area, and tested until a criterion level of 80% agreement between observers was established.
