Abstract:
The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the newly developed Mobile Phone Parenting Practices Questionnaire (MPPPQ) in a sample of Chinese migrant parents experiencing long-term parent-child separation. A total of 547 rural-to-urban migrant parents with 3-to-6-year-old children left in rural hometowns were recruited online and completed electronic questionnaires. Exploratory (N1 = 288) and confirmatory (N2 = 259) factor analyses were successively used to identify the factor structure. The results indicated that the MPPPQ consists of six dimensions, responsivity, autonomy granting, proactive control, directive control, psychological control, and harsh punitive control, with a good model fit. The dimensions showed good internal consistency and composite reliability. By examining associations with constructs of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, convergent validity was well established. The criterion validity of the MPPPQ was confirmed by its associations with parental stress, indicated by the Parental Stress Scale. This initial examination of the MPPPQ conveys that it holds good psychometric properties and may contribute to theoretical, methodological, and practical applications regarding parenting in the context of family separation and media use.
摘要:
本研究旨在研究新开发的手机育儿实践问卷(MPPPQ)在经历长期亲子分离的中国移民父母样本中的心理测量特性。在网上招募了547名3至6岁儿童留在农村老家的农村进城流动父母,并完成了电子问卷。连续使用探索性(N1=288)和确证性(N2=259)因子分析来鉴定因子结构。结果表明,MPPPQ由六个维度组成,响应度,自主权授予,主动控制,指令控制,心理控制,和严厉的惩罚性控制,一个很好的模型适合。尺寸表现出良好的内部一致性和复合可靠性。通过检查与父母教养方式和维度问卷结构的关联,收敛效度得到了很好的确立。MPPPQ的标准有效性通过其与父母压力的关联得到证实,由父母压力量表表示。对MPPPQ的初步检查表明,它具有良好的心理测量特性,可能有助于理论,方法论,以及在家庭分离和媒体使用背景下育儿的实际应用。
