Validating the Parenting Style and Dimension Questionnaire Using the Confirmatory Multitrait-Multimethod Approach

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Various interactional and contextual models have been proposed to conceptually understand direct and indirect parental influences on children. The Parenting Style and Dimension Questionnaire (PSDQ) has shown promise as an instrument to identify psychometric features of parenting style. Since the PSDQ assesses the parenting styles of both mothers and fathers and allows each parent to rate their own as well their spouse’s parenting style, it is important to confirm the psychometric properties of the PSDQ. Therefore the current study aims to explore the validity of the domains specified in the PSDQ. The purpose of this study was to examine the construct, convergent, and discriminant validity of the PSDQ using the multitraitmultimethod (MTMM) approach under a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) framework. Results provide support for good convergent and discriminant validity for each of the constructs. Implications of the findings are discussed in relation to future research.
