Validation of the Romanian version of the regulating emotions in parenting scale: psychometric properties and measurement invariance across mothers and fathers and across parents' psychological distress levels
The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties, factorial structure, and measurement invariance of the Romanian version of the Regulating Emotions in Parenting (REPS) scale. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Romaniawith parents (N = 1566, Mage = 40.84 years, SD = 6.42) of children and adolescents aged 8–17 years old. Psychometric properties were tested via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Multigroup CFA, Pearson's correlation, and Cronbach's alpha. The three-factor solution of REPS was confirmed (RMSEA = .077, CFI = .99, TLI = .99). Measurement invariance was supported for parents' psychological distress levels (difference between configural and scalar models: RMSEA = .007, ΔCFI = −.001, ΔTLI = .003), and across parents' sex (difference between configural and scalar models: ΔRMSEA = .011, ΔCFI < −.001, ΔTLI = −.003). Thus, the comparison of the latent means of REPS across parents' distress levels and sex was supported. The scale provided good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha was .78 or higher) and concurrent validity with measures of parenting practices (e.g., the correlation between adaptive strategies and positive parenting practices was r = .37) and parents' psychological distress (e.g., the correlation between adaptive strategies and psychological distress was r = −.33). The results are consistent with previous literature, and their implications are discussed.
