Parents and adolescents completed five questions assessing the frequency with which each parent engages in specific activities with the adolescent (Coltrane, Parke, & Adams, 2004). The adolescent reported on both parents, and parents reported on each other using a 5 point Likert scale. Correlation across reporters was moderate (r = .29 for father and adolescent reports, .26 for mother and adolescent reports), and reports were combined across reporters into a summary scale representing father-adolescent involvement, and a summary scale representing mother-adolescent involvement (α = .68 for father-adolescent involvement, .71 for mother-adolescent involvement).
