However, these modified questionnaires are all based on the 62-item questionnaire created by Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen, and Heart. In addition, the questionnaires also follow the question categorization and method of computation for the final score. The final score obtained will be the one to determine what type of parenting style a client has.
