Perceived Parenting Scale (PPS): psychometric measures for current family configurations
Abstract
The main objective of this research was to analyze a psychometric measure of perceived parenting adaptable to current family configurations and research topics in the area. For that a sample of adolescents (n = 443, MAGE = 15.49 years old, SDAGE= 1.85, 50.6% male, 49.4% female) and a sample of adults was studied (n = 512, MAGE = 40.83 years old, SDAGE= 15.05, 49.6% male, 50.4% female) using a measure specially designed to meet this end. The analyses concluded in a twenty-item measure (Perceived Parenting Scale; PPS) that can be used in adolescents (PPS-ADO) and adults (PPS-ADU) from diverse type of families. The measure entails validity evidences that give empirical support to its bidimensional structure in all of its versions and that enable comparative studies of the results obtained in any of them. Also, the analyses carried out with different external criteria replicate those commonly found when perceived parenting is studied in relation to psychological symptoms, well-being and coping styles. Punctuation scales are provided for the applied field. The PPS may be used to study the two main dimensions of parenting (responsiveness and demandingness) as well as their combination in parenting styles of primary and secondary caregivers.
