Abstract

Parenting alliance refers to those aspects of a relationship between parents that are related to their shared parental responsibilities and are independent from their romantic bond. It reflects the way each member of the parental dyad appraises the other’s strengths and weaknesses as a parent and their joint parenting work. The Parenting Alliance Measure (PAM) was developed to measure this construct reliably, but with limited representation of minorities in its original sample. The aim of this study was to explore the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the complete PAM in an Argentinian sample. Two hundred twenty-seven parents from Buenos Aires completed the PAM. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was completed based on the Unweighted Least Squares estimation method with oblique promax rotation on a polychoric correlation matrix and parallel analysis as the extraction method. Statistical analysis yielded a two-factor solution retaining 18 of the PAM’s initial 20 items that explained 65% of the variance. Each factor was composed of 9 items. Factor 1 was related to respect towards the other parent and Factor 2 to the quality of their communication and teamwork. These results support the use of the PAM with Argentinian samples.

父母联盟测度：一个阿根廷样本的因素结构

父母联盟是指父母之间关系的那些方面，这些方面与他们共同的父母责任有关，并且独立于他们的浪漫纽带。它反映了父母二人组中的每个成员评估对方作为父母的优势和劣势的方式，以及他们共同的育儿工作。育儿联盟测量（PAM）是为了可靠地测量这种结构而开发的，但在其原始样本中少数群体的代表性有限。本研究的目的是在阿根廷样本中探索西班牙语版完整PAM的因素结构和心理测量特性。来自布宜诺斯艾利斯的二百二十七名家长完成了PAM。基于非加权最小二乘估计方法，以多色相关矩阵上的斜前峰旋转和并行分析作为提取方法，完成了探索性因子分析（EFA）。统计分析得出的双因素解决方案保留了PAM最初20个项目中的18个，解释了65%的方差。每个因素由9个项目组成。因素1与对另一位家长的尊重有关，因素2与他们的沟通和团队合作质量有关。这些结果支持在阿根廷样本中使用PAM。
