Abstract

To test the reliability and validity of the Child Response Style Scale (CReSS) measuring responses to parenting, a cross-sectional online survey (20 items) was distributed via online networks: WhatsApp, email, Facebook to infinite population in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Validity and reliability were tested. The internal consistency for items and the entire scale, and other measures of reliability were tested. Also, the construct validity and the criterion-referenced validity were also measured. The construct validity, criterion-referenced validity, internal consistency reliability, and split-half reliability showed good results. The CReSS achieved a correlation between Forms = .666; Spearman-Brown Coefficient rSB = .799; Guttman Split-Half Coefficient rsb = .798; Cronbach’ Alpha α = .840. CReSS is valid and reliable.
