Abstract

Taking coparenting into consideration is essential when assessing children and their relational environment, regardless of the family structure. This paper presents three studies we conducted with the aim of developing and validating a reliable instrument for the assessment of coparenting in Spanish. The first study consisted of developing the items to be included in the assessment tool and evaluation of this content by a panel of nine experts. In the second study, we explored both the psychometric properties and the factorial structure of the prototype instrument using a sample of 251 participants. The third study confirmed the factorial structure and tested measurement invariance, the reliability, and convergent and discriminant evidence of our tool in a general population sample of 312 participants. We obtained a 15-item unidimensional questionnaire, the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Coparenting (CECOP), with very good psychometric properties: excellent internal consistency with α of 0.97 and supported validity with the selected conceptually related metrics; convergent validity with the Instrument for the Assessment of Adaptation to Divorce–Separation’s (CADS) coparenting dimension and Questionnaire on Perceived Support from the Former Partner (CARE); and divergent validity with parenting and dyadic adjustment. Furthermore, the results in terms of measurement invariance across family structures and sex allowed us to assume the configural invariance between the groups. However, it was not possible to assume metric invariance. Finally, we also provide normative scores for its interpretation. The CECOP shows excellent psychometric properties and can be considered the first questionnaire in Spanish that assesses coparenting in any family structure, which also includes the triadic conceptualization of coparenting, providing valuable information on the relational environment in which children and adolescence live.

养育子女评估问卷(CECOP):开发与验证
在评估儿童及其关系环境时,无论家庭结构如何,都必须考虑到共同抚养的问题。本文介绍了我们进行的三项研究,目的是开发和验证一种可靠的工具,用于评估西班牙语中的 "共同养育"。第一项研究包括制定评估工具中的项目,并由九位专家组成的小组对这些内容进行评估。在第二项研究中,我们以 251 名参与者为样本,探讨了原型工具的心理测量特性和因子结构。第三项研究确认了因子结构,并在 312 名普通人群样本中测试了我们工具的测量不变性、可靠性、收敛性和判别性。我们得到了一份 15 个项目的单维度问卷,即 "共同养育评估问卷(CECOP)",该问卷具有非常好的心理测量学特性:内部一致性极佳,α 为 0.97,与选定的概念相关指标之间具有支持效度;与 "离婚-分居适应评估工具"(CADS)的共同养育维度和 "感知前伴侣支持问卷"(CARE)之间具有收敛效度;与 "养育 "和 "夫妻适应 "之间具有发散效度。此外,在不同家庭结构和性别之间的测量不变量结果使我们可以假定各组之间存在构型不变量。但是,我们无法假设计量不变性。最后,我们还提供了常模分数,以供解释。CECOP 显示出了极佳的心理测量特性,可以说是第一份评估任何家庭结构中共同养育子女情况的西班牙文问卷,其中还包括共同养育子女的三元概念,为儿童和青少年所处的关系环境提供了宝贵的信息。

期刊介绍: Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
