Validity Evidence for the Reduced Version of the Young Parenting Inventory (YPI)

Abstract

To gain more insight in family processes, psychometrically tests are required. The present study aimed to adapt a reduced version of the Young Parenting Inventory (YPI) to the Portuguese language and to obtain evidence of its validity. The instrument was administered to a sample of 920 persons (59% female) with an average age of 21.3 years. Exploratory factor analysis indicated the existence of five factors explaining approximately 45% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed fit indices above.80. In comparison with other models, the five factor model showed a better fit to the data. Between the YPI and Familiograma (another test of family processes) moderate correlations were observed. The results of this study suggest satisfactory evidence of the validity for the YPI in Brazil.

The relationships among parental psychological control/autonomy support, self‐trouble, and internalizing problems across adolescent genders

“…Consequently, it may lead adolescents to develop lower selftrouble, buffering the detrimental effect of psychological control on internalizing problems (Kunz & Grych, 2013). Autonomy support shapes their secure self-concepts (e.g., Valentini, Alchieri & Laros, 2013). It also increases their satisfaction of competence and autonomy needs, with which in turn relating to positive selfevaluations (Ryan et al, 2006;Tanhaye Reshvanloo & Hejazi, 2011).…”

Avaliação de Sintomas Psicológicos no Transtorno da Acumulação: Um Estudo de Caso

“…Semelhantemente, escores elevados no Fator III: Hipervigilância e orientação para o outro (escala materna: m=3,18; escala paterna: m=3,36) que, segundo Valentini et al (2013), está associado a estilos parentais controladores, exigentes ou inflexíveis quanto a regras e preocupados com a opinião dos outros, também foram encontrados. Quanto à preocupação de Sônia em relação aos outros, Martha explica que "Ela era assim, muito influenciável, mas pelos outros; se viesse algum vizinho ou alguém falar qualquer coisa, era lei.…”

“…. Inventário dos Estilos Parentais deYoung, versão reduzida (IEP;Valentini, Alchieri, & Laros, 2013): tem por objetivo avaliar a relação entre os estilos parentais, ou seja, os padrões de interação entre pais-filhos e os EIDs. Por meio de uma escala Likert, o instrumento com 49 itens procura identificar os estilos de interação entre paciente e os cuidadores(Valentini & Alchieri, 2009), que também se relacionam com o desenvolvimento e a manutenção de psicopatologias(Young et al, 2008).…”

Psychometric validation of the Young Parenting Inventory - Revised (YPI-R2): Replication and Extension of a commonly used parenting scale in Schema Therapy (ST) research and practice

“…India [ 30 ], Iran [ 31 ], Palestine [ 32 ]). Furthermore, a study in Turkey assumed 10 factors [ 33 ] without explanation, and a study in Brazil removed 23 items [ 34 ] without any empirical support. Such ongoing research raises further concern about whether the properties of the YPI will replicate across cultures.…”
