Parental Expectation Scale (P.E Scale): (Bilingual)

The Parental Expectations Scale is designed to assess the various factors of parental expectations for both children and parents, measured across six key areas. This scale is administered separately to children and parents, providing insights into potential areas of conflict or alignment. The scale consists of 30 items for each group in a Likert-type rating format, and is bilingual (Hindi & English), with high reliability and validity.Six Important Areas Measured by the Parental Expectations

Scale:1. General Expectation: Assesses broad, overarching expectations that parents have for their children’s overall development.

2. Social Expectation: Evaluates expectations related to social behavior, interactions, and societal roles.

3. Financial Expectation: Measures parental expectations concerning financial responsibility, stability, and future earnings.

4. Good Academic Success: Focuses on the importance placed on academic achievement and success in school or college.

5. Future Job: Assesses expectations regarding career choices and professional success.

6. Personal Expectation: Evaluates expectations related to personal growth, values, and character development.

This scale is particularly useful for understanding and managing the conflicts that can arise when parental expectations and children’s aspirations differ.
