This study aims to conduct a validity and reliability test on the modified version of adolescent parenting attitude four factor questionnaire (APA-FFQ) with rasch measurement model. The adapted instrument consisted of 40 items based on 4 constructs namely authoritarian, authoritative, permissive and uninvolved parenting style. Some modifications have been carried out to improve the item clarity and to capture the type of maternal and paternal parenting style. Based on the sample size of 70 adolescents from one of the private higher education institution in Malaysia, the analysis revealed that all items from the modified version of APA-FFQ fits the model as the value of infor and outfit mean square (MNSQ) fell within the acceptable range of 0.50 to 1.50 with positive Point Measure Correlation (PTMEA) value. The dimensionality analysis also revealed that all items involved were measured what it supposed to measure and possessed a strong unidimensionality. Furthermore, the separation and reliability analysis showed that all items and respondents are stable and consistent when tested with different items in measuring the same construct. Therefore, the instrument can be adapted in the Malaysian educational context.
