NAEP Student Parent/Guardian Item Set for Grade 8

The parent/guardian item set is a dynamic set of contextual questionnaire items designed to allow grade 8 students with a variety of parent/guardian types to report a) who their parents/guardians are, b) the educational attainment of those adults, and c) the employment status of those adults. The item set allows for a more inclusive approach to collecting this information, which is relevant to the measurement of student socioeconomic status (SES). These items are intended for use at grade 8 only as some grade 4 students have difficulty providing this information. In the pilot administration of the parent/guardian items, these items will be included within the core contextual questionnaire and will be preceded and followed by other questionnaire items.
