Abstract

Validation of the MacHale Co-parenting Scale (1997) was examined in a sample of 192 Persian-speaking parents who had children in primary school. Translation of this scale was performed using the forward–backward method. To assess reliability, internal consistency was used after translating the items into Persian. Face validity, content validity and structural validity were also applied to ensure tool validity. The results indicated that Ballit's sphericity test yielded a value of 1153.138 at a significance level of p < .05. Using varimax rotation, three factors (Family Integrity, Consistency and Conflict) were identified with eigenvalues greater than 1 and factor loadings higher than 0.5. The total factors explained 58.18 per cent of the variance in the data. Additionally, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire was 0.84. The Persian version of the co-parenting questionnaire has satisfactory psychometric properties with acceptable reliability and validity for measuring joint parenting among Iranian parents in terms of family integrity, consistency and conflict dimensions.

波斯语版麦克黑尔共同养育量表：心理测量特性评估

本研究以192名有小学波斯语学童的父母为样本，检验MacHale共同养育量表（1997）的有效性。该量表的平移采用正向倒向法进行。为了评估信度，在将条目翻译成波斯语后使用内部一致性。同时采用了面孔效度、内容效度和结构效度来保证工具的效度。结果表明，Ballit's球度检验的结果为1153.138，显著性水平为p <； 0.05。通过变量旋转，识别出特征值大于1且因子负荷大于0.5的三个因子（家庭完整性、一致性和冲突）。总的因素解释了数据中58.18%的差异。此外，整个问卷的Cronbach's alpha系数为0.84。波斯语版共同抚养问卷具有令人满意的心理测量特性，在家庭完整性、一致性和冲突维度上测量伊朗父母共同抚养子女的信度和效度可接受。
