A clinical psychologist was interested in how different parenting styles might affect the incidence of neurosis in adults.    Based on observations of her own clients over many years, she hypothesized that unstructured and lax child rearing environments were more likely to result in adult neurosis than well structured and disciplined child rearing.   She created a 20-item questionnaire that asked subjects about their own childhood experiences and also their neurotic tendencies.   She obtained a small government grant to cover the costs of administering the survey through the mail to residents in three large metropolitan areas on the east coast.

From these answers she rated each parenting style along a 1 to 5 scale that varied from very unstructured (1) to very structured (5).   In addition, she rated each participant along a 1 to 5 scale that reflected their degree of neurosis from low levels of neurotic behavior (1) to high levels of neurotic behavior (5).
