In the last two decades, the development psychologists have shown an increasing interest in measuring parenting styles and practices, using psychometric instruments. Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire is a well-known and wide used self-reported instrument to assess parenting styles in different cultural contexts. The aim of the present study was to adapt the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire to Albanian family context. The original scale was developed by Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen, & Hart (1995) and it aimed to evaluate 4-12 years old children’s mother’s and father’s parenting styles. The Albanian version of the scale was administered to mothers and fathers of 316 preschool children of 3-6 years old in four kindergartens in Tirana city. The analyses for the internal consistency and internal structure-related validity of the scale were tested. The data were analyzed and the results showed that the Albanian version of the scale had acceptable validity.
