Research reported here used identical factor analytic procedures on
individual items in the child version of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) within each of eight sociocultural
groups distributed widely around the world. Evidence and results
from this research lend strong support to the presumption of con
struct validity of the PARQ as a valid cross-cultural measure of the
warmth dimension of parenting. As such, the instrument may be
used as an additional source of evidence for Raoul Naroll's "tests of theories" step in socionomics.
