The efficiency of a retrospective pretest : how does the parenting ladder perform?

Creator:: Kneedler, Blythe K.
Abstract:: As program participants integrate new knowledge and understanding into previous standards regarding attitudes or perceptions, these altered standards violate the assumption of consistency inherent to the pretest-posttest method for measuring change over time. If this violation, or response-shift bias, is not controlled results can be misleading, which carries serious implications...
