Data Analysis and Use

Data analysis from the HFPI-63 includes:
Scoring: Participants respond to questions based on a Likert scale, and scores are used to assess parenting practices.
Statistical Analysis:
Descriptive Statistics: Calculation of mean and standard deviation to determine overall parenting practices.
Correlation: Examination of the relationship between parenting practices and factors such as age, education, and socioeconomic status.
Comparative Analysis: Comparisons between different groups (e.g., parents with varying levels of education) to understand differences in parenting practices.

Objective

The objective of the HFPI-63 is to provide data that will help understand parenting practices and attitudes, aiming to support and enhance parents through interventions and programs that promote healthy child-rearing.

Calibration

The calibration of the HFPI-63 includes:
Cross-Cultural Studies: Testing the scale in different cultural populations to ensure
appropriateness and accuracy.
Reliability Analysis: Using techniques such as Cronbach’s alpha to ensure the consistency of the questions.
