How does this scale differ from the Music@Home scale?

The Music@Home-Retrospective is a scale for adult participants to complete about their own developmental experiences growing up.

The Music@Home-Retrospective asks about the music environment adults recall when they were 6 -12 years old.

In addition to subscales that exist in the original Music@Home scale (Caregiver Beliefs, Caregiver Initiation of Singing, Child Engagement with Music), the Music@Home-Retrospective scale includes two new subscales to characterize the music environment in childhood: Social Listening Contexts and Attitude towards Childhood Musical Environment.
