Family Supports and Beliefs Survey

Participants will complete a survey (The Family Supports and Beliefs Survey), which will measure their existing beliefs about the role of societal resources in supporting families and young children. Participants will randomly see one of four fictional scenarios and then be asked questions related to that scenario as well as items related to stress and self-efficacy. We hypothesize that the type of scenario a participant is presented with before taking a survey may affect how they answer subsequent questions.

This survey is being administered as part of a broader project designed to test items that are being developed for a new measure, the Survey of Parent/Provider Expectations and Knowledge Computer Adaptive Test (SPEAK CAT).
