Abstract
Psychometric and normative data are presented for two forms of the Home Environment Questionnaire (HEQ) that provide measures of 10 variables used to describe the psychosocial environments of children. One form, HEQ-2R, is suitable for use with families in which there are two parents; the other form, HEQ-1R, is for use with one-parent families. The HEQ scales are relatively independent and not significantly related to the age of the target child, and most of the scales are reasonably internally consistent. Previous research has found several of the HEQ scales to be significantly related to several dimensions of children's clinically important behavior.
