Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to validate the Meaning in Parenthood Questionnaire (MPQ) among Chinese mothers in Hong Kong. Based on the data collected from 854 Chinese mothers, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to examine the factor structure of the scale. The internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the scale were also examined. EFA yielded a twofold factor structure (i.e. presence of meaning and search for meaning in parenthood) with ten items, which was supported by the CFA and explained 62.1% of the total variance. The Cronbach’s alpha indicates a satisfactory reliability of MPQ-Presence and MPQ-Search subscales (i.e. .788 and .883, respectively). The construct validity of both MPQ-Presence and MPQ-Search subscales were established by their significant correlations with parental efficacy and life satisfaction. The MPQ as a reliable and valid scale can enable researchers and practitioners to measure meaning in parenthood.

香港华人母亲亲子关系意义定量测量的验证

摘要本研究的目的是在香港的中国母亲中验证父母意义问卷(MPQ)。采用探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)对量表的因子结构进行检验。并对量表的内部一致性、信度和结构效度进行了检验。EFA产生了一个包含10个项目的双因素结构(即意义的存在和父母意义的搜索)，该结构得到了CFA的支持，解释了总方差的62.1%。Cronbach 's alpha表明MPQ-Presence和MPQ-Search子量表具有令人满意的信度(分别为。788和。883)。MPQ-Presence和MPQ-Search分量表的结构效度均与父母效能感和生活满意度显著相关。MPQ作为一种可靠有效的量表，可以帮助研究者和实践者衡量亲子关系的意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
