Promax rotated loadings Factor structure
General rules Dating rules General rules Dating rules
I can stay out as late as I want on weekend nights .61 .64 .44
My parents allow me to have people of the opposite sex over to the house when no adult is at home .54 .73 .64
My parents let me go out with friends on school nights .80 .72 .41
My parents let me go to unsupervised parties where there will be both boys and girls .72 .77 .56
My parents let me hang out with older friends (one or two grades older than me) .55 .62 .47
My parents allow me to go out on “dates” .83 .64 .89
My parents allow me to go out on “dates” with people who are older than me .88 .72 .97

χ2 = 22.13, df = 8, p = .00, RMSEA = .06.

Items were reverse coded so that higher scores are indicative of more family rules.

EFA = exploratory factor analysis.
