Abstract

Spanish adaptation and psychometric properties of Parenting and Family Adjustment Scale (PAFAS). In order to conduct brief and efficient assessments of parental competence, parental-subsidiary relationships and family adjustment, the Parenting and Family Adjustment Scales (PAFAS) was created with the Parenting Scale and Family subscales Adjustment Scale. The objective of this work is to adapt this questionnaire to the Spanish context to be used for the evaluation of Spanish parental functioning, updating its psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 2618 parents from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The items that were part of the instrument were adapted in agreement with the original authors. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were used to analyse the structure of the questionnaire. Reliability analyses were then carried out for each of the factors and invariance of the measurement model at both subscales. As a result, an instrument consisting of 20 items, two subscales and five factors was obtained that proved reliable to measure family and parental functioning in Spain. The Parenting Scale made by Coercive parenting (PC), Positive encouragement (EP) and Parent-child relationship (RMP) factors and the Family Adjustment Scale, made by Parental adjustment (AP) and Family adjustment (AF) factors. The instrument obtained makes it possible to measure the parental styles and family adjustment of Spanish parents
