“…Students’ perceptions of their mothers’ and fathers’ need nurturing behaviors were measured separately using the Serbian version (Šakan et al, 2018 ) of the Interpersonal Behaviors Questionnaire (IBQ; Rocchi et al, 2017a ) which was developed through a standardized translation back-translation procedure (Beaton et al, 2000 ). The stem “My mother” and “My father” were followed by 24 items forming six four-item subscales: autonomy support ( α father = 0.772, α mother = 0.752, α combined = 0.856; e.g., “Support my decisions”) and thwarting ( α father = 0.733, α mother = 0.751, α combined = 0.861; e.g., “Impose their opinions on me”), competence support ( α father = 0.624, α mother = 0.641, α combined = 0.792; e.g., “Encourage me to improve my skills”) and thwarting ( α father = 0.721, α mother = 0.725, α combined = 0.844; e.g., “Point out that I will likely fail”), relatedness support ( α father = 0.766, α mother = 0.698, α combined = 0.828; e.g., “Take the time to get to know me”) and thwarting ( α father = 0.630, α mother = 0.633, α combined = 0.797; e.g., “Are distant when we spend time together”).…”
