 Data Collection Procedures

 The compilation of surveys used in this investigation was piloted prior to collecting

data from the sample. A small group of mothers and fathers with young children

(approximately 9 parents) completed the survey to test the clarity of the survey questions

and instructions. The group piloted both the paper copy of the survey and the Internet

version. Couples from this pilot group reported taking 15 to 20 minutes to complete the

survey booklet; participants in the study were provided with this estimate in the invitation

to participate. After the survey was piloted and revisions made to enhance its clarity and

ease of completion, the survey was administered to couples in the study sample.

Approval of the University of Florida Institutional Review Board was obtained before the
