Abstract

Objective

The main objective was to analyze the reliability, psychometric properties, and validity evidence of the Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q) youth version with an Ecuadorian sample.

Background

CPV is a form of youth violence in which children engage in violent behavior toward their parents. Previous studies have reported that CPV extends beyond the age of 18 years.

Method

In this study 1,516 intentionally selected young adults aged 18–26 years participated. They completed a sociodemographic form and the CPV-Q for CPV behaviors. Several factor analyses were carried out; reliability indices, invariance by sex of the young adults, convergent and discriminant validity, and percentages by type of CPV toward both parents were calculated.

Results

The CPV-Q has an excellent psychometric model, as well as good reliability and evidence of validity. Psychological CPV was the most frequent between 43.9% and 52.3%. Physical CPV was the least exercised between 1.9% and 3.4%.

Conclusion

CPV is a type of family violence that can be assessed and identified with the CPV-Q. This scale presents adequate measurement indicators. In addition, percentages of the types of CPV are shown.

Implications

It provides an adapted, reliable psychometric instrument supported by strong validity evidence for the assessment of the CPV-Q in young adults. It can be used by professionals working in different areas related to family violence. The main implication for future prevention and intervention studies is that this instrument can be used in longitudinal studies and for the development of explanatory models of this problem.

评估孩子对父母的暴力：测量年轻人的不变性和频率

目的对厄瓜多尔青少年版《亲子暴力问卷》（CPV-Q）的信度、心理测量特征和效度证据进行分析。CPV是青少年暴力的一种形式，指的是儿童对父母采取暴力行为。先前的研究报道CPV会延续到18岁以后。方法在本研究中有意选择1516名年龄在18-26岁的年轻人参与。他们完成了一份社会人口统计表格和CPV- q的CPV行为。进行了多项因素分析；计算信度指标、青年性别的不变性、收敛效度和判别效度以及对父母双方CPV类型的百分比。结果CPV-Q量表具有良好的心理测量模型，具有良好的信度和证据效度。心理CPV发生率最高，为43.9% ~ 52.3%。身体CPV运动最少，在1.9%到3.4%之间。结论CPV是一种可以用CPV- q进行评估和识别的家庭暴力类型。该量表提供了充分的测量指标。此外，还显示了CPV类型的百分比。它为年轻人的CPV-Q评估提供了一个适应性的、可靠的心理测量工具，并得到了强有力的效度证据的支持。在与家庭暴力有关的不同领域工作的专业人员可以使用它。对未来预防和干预研究的主要含义是，该工具可以用于纵向研究，并用于该问题的解释模型的发展。
