Abstract

The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ), a widely used index of parenting, assesses authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive dimensions; however, there is little rigorous work to support this structure. In addition, research on the PSDQ has focused on maternal self-reports, leaving the structure of paternal self-reports and informant-reported caregiving poorly understood. We examined the structure of the PSDQ for mother and father self- and informant-report versions, using exploratory factor analyses, in 401 caregivers with 3-year-old children (Sample 1). A three-factor structure showed the best but not consistently acceptable fit; this was supported by confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) conducted in a sample of 510 caregivers (Sample 2). Removing redundant items improved the fit of the CFAs, such that it was acceptable based on certain indices (i.e., RMSEA and SRMR). These findings support the continued use of the three-factor structure; however, they also indicate that certain items are not useful toward assessing contemporary parenting.

父母教养方式与维度问卷自述版与举报人版的因素结构。

父母教养方式与维度问卷（PSDQ）是一个广泛使用的父母教养指标，评估权威、专制和宽容的维度；然而，很少有严谨的工作来支持这种结构。此外，对PSDQ的研究主要集中在母亲的自我报告上，而对父亲自我报告和举报人报告的照料结构却知之甚少。我们使用探索性因素分析，对401名3岁儿童的照顾者（样本1）的父母自我和举报人版本的PSDQ结构进行了检查。三因素结构表现出最佳的契合度，但并非始终可以接受；在510名护理人员（样本2）中进行的验证性因素分析（CFAs）支持了这一点。删除冗余项目改善了CFAs的拟合性，因此根据某些指数（即RMSEA和SRMR），它是可以接受的。这些发现支持继续使用三因素结构；然而，他们也指出，某些项目在评估当代父母教育方面是没有用的。
