monitoring using seven dichotomous yes/no questions: “Do your parents let you make your own decisions about…” (1) “the people you hang around with;” (2) “the time you must be home on the weekend;” (3) “what you wear;” (4) “how much TV you watch;” (5) “which TV program you watch;” (6) “time you go to bed on the weeknights;” and (7) “what you eat?” Responses to these questions were coded 0 for no and 1 for yes. These questions of parental acceptance and control have been used in other studies measuring these four constructs of parenting style (e.g., Cox, 2006; Fuemmeler et al., 2012).
