IF THIS QUESTION IS SK (SKIPPED), USE PARENT SURVEY PROBE. DON’T KNOW AND RATHER NOT ANSWER
IN THE PARENT SURVEY PROBE SKIP TO INQ005j.
BOLD, ON FIRST INSTANCE ONLY IN HELP TEXT, "Biological parent", "Adoptive parent", "Step parent",
"Foster parent", "Sibling", "Grandparent", "Other Relative", "Other Nonrelative", “Other parent or
guardian”.
HELP FOR CODE 1: Biological Parent: A parent biologically related to the child. This may be the parent who
gave birth to the child, but could also apply to a parent who used a surrogate, egg donor, or sperm donor to
have the child.
HELP FOR CODE 2: Adoptive Parent: A parent who has legally adopted {CHILD}.
HELP FOR CODE 3: Step Parent: A parent other than {CHILD}'s biological or adoptive parent who is married to
{CHILD}'s biological or adoptive parent.
HELP FOR CODE 4: Foster Parent: A parent with whom {CHILD} is placed temporarily, usually through a social
service agency and/or a court.
HELP FOR CODE 5: Sibling: Include biological (full, half), step, adoptive, and foster siblings as defined below.
Full Sibling: A person with whom {CHILD} shares the same biological parents.

Page 11 of 316

Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Parent Survey Fall K - Form PSFK :: INQ
2022-10-03 16:13

Half Sibling: A person with whom {CHILD} shares one biological parent.
Step Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is related by the marriage of one biological parent.
Adoptive Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is related given that they are in the same family in which the
person or {CHILD} has been legally adopted by the family.
Foster Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is unrelated except that they are in the same family in which the
person or {CHILD} have been taken into the home on a temporary basis and the parents have legal
responsibility for {CHILD}.
HELP FOR CODE 6: Grandparent: A parent of {CHILD}'s biological, adoptive, or step parent.
HELP FOR CODE 7: Other Relative: Refers to relationships that are not listed, such as great grandparent, child
of a parent’s sibling (e.g., niece or nephew), and sibling of {CHILD}’s parent (e.g., aunt or uncle).
HELP FOR CODE 8: Other Nonrelative: Refers to the relationship between two people when there is no family
relationship through blood, marriage, or adoption. The category could be used to refer to a person who is
not a parent to {CHILD}, but is a partner to {CHILD}’s parent and living together with that parent as married.
The category could also be used to refer to the partner’s children who are not related to {CHILD}’s parent. An
example of this is when the child's parent and the parent's partner (who is not the child's parent) live
together as married and the partner's daughter lives with them. The relationship of the partner's daughter to
the child would be siblings if they were married, but since the parent and the partner are not married, the
daughter is an "other nonrelative."
HELP FOR CODE 91: Other Parent or Guardian: A person acting as the parent of {CHILD}, but does not fit into
one of the other categories. For example, in a household with two parents, one of the parents may not be
biologically related to {CHILD} and not legally in charge of {CHILD} but is another parent to {CHILD}.

year of school before kindergarten starts. It is different from preschool, Head Start, or prekindergarten. TK
may be for children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready for kindergarten.
Schools have different names for these programs (e.g., early transitional kindergarten (ETK), readiness
kindergarten, or a kindergarten equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple grades), but all
are types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an early childhood setting
such as a nursery school, early childhood learning center, or day care center. It may be a full- or part-day
program and have regular and/or special education.

Section SSQ Social Skills, Problem Behaviors and Approaches Toward Learning
Thirty-four items ask parents to rate their child on social-emotional skills including ability to exercise selfcontrol (for example, fighting, arguing, anger); ability to interact with others (for example, playing, making
friends); being sad or lonely (for example, depression, low self-esteem); being impulsive or overactive;
positive behaviors (for example, listening, cooperating); problem behaviors (worrying); and approaches to
learning (for example, selfdirection, organization, eagerness to learn). The social skills and behavior items
are adapted from the Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS) and the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) by
Gresham and Elliot (1990, 2008) published by NCS Pearson. These items (a-i, k, l, n, p, q, s, t, u, w, y, z1, z2,
z3, z4, z5, z6, z7, z8, z9) are copyright protected and are not listed (they are submitted directly to OMB for
review). The approaches to learning items were created for the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K) by Atkins-Burnett. They are not copyright protected and,
therefore, are listed below.

IF THIS QUESTION IS SK (SKIPPED) FOR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE RESPONDENT OR THE RESPONDENT'S
SPOUSE/PARTNER TO THE CHILD, USE PARENT SURVEY PROBE.
BOLD, ON FIRST INSTANCE ONLY IN HELP TEXT, "Biological parent", "Adoptive parent", "Step parent",
"Foster parent", "Sibling", "Grandparent", "Other Relative", "Other Nonrelative", “Other parent or
guardian”.
HELP FOR CODE 1: Biological Parent: A parent biologically related to the child. This may be the parent who
gave birth to the child, but could also apply to a parent who used a surrogate, egg donor, or sperm donor to
have the child.
HELP FOR CODE 2: Adoptive Parent: A parent who has legally adopted {CHILD}.
HELP FOR CODE 3: Step Parent: A parent other than {CHILD}'s biological or adoptive parent who is married to
{CHILD}'s biological or adoptive parent.
HELP FOR CODE 4: Foster Parent: A parent with whom {CHILD} is placed temporarily, usually through a social
service agency and/or a court.
HELP FOR CODE 5: Sibling: Include biological (full, half), step, adoptive, and foster siblings as defined below.

Page 109 of 316

Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Parent Survey Fall K - Form PSFK ::
FSQ
2022-10-03 16:13

Full Sibling: A person with whom {CHILD} shares the same biological parents.
Half Sibling: A person with whom {CHILD} shares one biological parent.
Step Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is related by the marriage of one biological parent.
Adoptive Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is related given that they are in the same family in which the
person or {CHILD} has been legally adopted by the family.
Foster Sibling: A person to whom {CHILD} is unrelated except that they are in the same family in which the
person or {CHILD} have been taken into the home on a temporary basis and the parents have legal
responsibility for {CHILD}.
HELP FOR CODE 6: Grandparent: A parent of {CHILD}'s biological, adoptive, or step parent.
HELP FOR CODE 7: Other Relative: Refers to relationships that are not listed, such as great grandparent, child
of a parent’s sibling (e.g., niece or nephew), and sibling of {CHILD}’s parent (e.g., aunt or uncle).
HELP FOR CODE 8: Other Nonrelative: Refers to the relationship between two people when there is no family
relationship through blood, marriage, or adoption. The category could be used to refer to a person who is
not a parent to {CHILD}, but is a partner to {CHILD}’s parent and living together with that parent as married.
The category could also be used to refer to the partner’s children who are not related to {CHILD}’s parent. An
example of this is when the child's parent and the parent's partner (who is not the child's parent) live
together as married and the partner's daughter lives with them. The relationship of the partner's daughter to
the child would be siblings if they were married, but since the parent and the partner are not married, the
daughter is an "other nonrelative."
HELP FOR CODE 91: Other Parent or Guardian: A person acting as the parent of {CHILD}, but does not fit into
one of the other categories. For example, in a household with two parents, one of the parents may not be
biologically related to {CHILD} and not legally in charge of {CHILD} but is another parent to {CHILD}.
