Abstract

ABSTRACT The Multidimensional Overprotective Parenting Scale (MOPS) is a 35-item questionnaire assessing two dimensions of parental overprotection. Given its substantial length, the present research presents the development and psychometric properties of a short version of the MOPS (S-MOPS). Four independent samples were used (Sample 1, N = 315 Swiss adolescents; Sample 2, N = 377 Belgian adolescents and young adults; Sample 3, N = 312 Georgian young adults; Sample 4, N = 467 Swiss parents). Item selection based on factor analysis resulted in a 16-item version, comprising 10 items for anxious overprotection and 6 for ego-enhancing overprotection. The psychometric properties of the S-MOPS were similar to those of the MOPS across samples with high reliability, a stable two-factor structure, and very similar associations with theoretically relevant parenting and adjustment variables. Overall, the S-MOPS appears to be a promising instrument for use in cross-national research and research with a multi-informant approach.

多维过度保护育儿量表的简短版本的心理测量质量

多维过度保护父母量表(MOPS)是一份35项的问卷，评估父母过度保护的两个维度。鉴于其相当长的篇幅，本研究提出了一个简短版本的MOPS (S-MOPS)的发展和心理测量特性。采用4个独立样本(样本1,N = 315瑞士青少年;样本2,N = 377名比利时青少年和年轻人;样本3,N = 312格鲁吉亚年轻人;样本4,N = 467名瑞士父母)。基于因子分析的项目选择产生了16个项目版本，其中焦虑过度保护10个项目，自我增强过度保护6个项目。S-MOPS的心理测量特征与不同样本的MOPS相似，具有高可靠性，稳定的双因素结构，并且与理论相关的养育和适应变量具有非常相似的关联。总的来说，S-MOPS似乎是一种很有前途的工具，可用于跨国研究和采用多信息提供者方法的研究。
