Propiedades psicométricas y dimensionalidad de la versión española para niños y adolescentes del Father Involvement Scale (FIS) [Psychometric Properties and dimensionality of the Spanish version of the Father Involvement Scale (FIS)]

Resumen El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar las propiedades psicometricas y dimensionalidad de la version espanola para ninos y adolescentes del Father Involvement Scale (FIS) en el marco de la IPARTheory. Para ello, se utilizo una muestra de 514 participantes (46.9 % varones) de edades comprendidas entre 9 y 16 anos. Ademas del cuestionario sobre la implicacion paterna, los sujetos informaron de su ajuste emocional, el grado interpersonal de poder y prestigio parental y el grado de aceptacion y rechazo parental percibidos. Se obtuvieron dos factores de primer orden (implicacion expresiva e implicacion instrumental) y otro global (implicacion paterna). La validez de contenido y criterio, asi como la fiabilidad resultan apropiadas para los tres factores. No se encontraron diferencias por sexo. Abstract The present study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties and dimensionality of the Spanish version for children and adolescents of the Father Involvement Scale (FIS) under the IPARTheory. To do this, a sample of 514 participants (46.9% male) aged between 9 and 16 years were used. In addition to the questionnaire on parental involvement subjects reported their emotional adjustment, the degree of parental power and prestige and perceived parental acceptance and rejection. Two first-order factors (expressive and instrumental involvement) and another comprehensive one (parental involvement) were obtained. Content as well as criterion validity of each factor seem to be appropriate and so is their reliability. No sex differences were found in this study.
