Paternal Functioning Scale Development: Validity and Reliability Study
2023
Overview
Objectives:This study goals to develop a measurement tool to evaluate paternal function from a holistic point of view, based on the lack of a scale which includes the evaluation of paternal function in providing boundaries, that is crucial in behavioral problems.Materials and Methods:The data were collected via online forms from 642 fathers (aged 27-55 years) with at least one child (aged 6-14 years). Paternal Function scale, life satisfaction scale, psychological well-being scale and demographic information form was used.Results:To test the reliability and validity of the measurement tool, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the 22 item scale which yielded a four factor structure. Content, construct, and effect validity analysis are made at different scales. To test its reliability, internal consistency, and item analysis, and 27.0% lower-upper group comparisons were made. Then the cut-off scores of each factor were calculated. Sub-factors include four dimensions: Interest; pressure/impulsivity; supportlessness; boundlessness. The validity and reliability levels of the measurement tool were found to be adequate and it was thought to be useful for the field.Conclusion:The scale is an original measurement tool introduced in the field to reveal basic paternal functions. The paternal function which brings limits to the child by including his interest and support is constructive; on the contrary, the paternal function that use disciplinary methods with an intimidating or impulsive approach and unsupportive is not constructive. The short and easy applicability of the scale and its ability to evaluate the father-child relationship in different dimensions will meet an important need in studies on this area.
