“…We collected measures of parenting behaviors, perceived control (generalized self‐efficacy and self‐mastery), and psychopathology that were used in previous research examining the original PFMS (Zalta & Chambless, ).…”

“…The original PFMS is a nine‐item measure that assesses two types of parenting styles: parental overprotection and parental challenge (Zalta & Chambless, ). Parental overprotection is characterized by strict parental supervision, restrictiveness, and hindrance of independence.…”

“…Zalta and Chambless () developed the Parental Facilitation of Mastery Scale (PFMS) to (a) assess the ways in which parents actively foster mastery in children and (b) assess overcontrolling parenting behaviors using items that assess parenting behaviors rather than parents’ intentions. Psychometric analyses of this scale revealed two factors, including one factor characterized by overprotective behaviors and another factor characterized by challenging behaviors (i.e., challenging children to engage and persist in difficult tasks).…”

“…The scale assesses two parenting factors: warmth/care and overprotection/control. We focused exclusively on the overprotection/control measure for this study because this measure was used to validate the overprotection scale of the original PFMS (Zalta & Chambless, ). This scale asks participants to rate their mother and father on items such as “Tried to make me feel dependent on him/her,” “Did not want me to grow up,” and “Felt I could not look after myself unless she/he was around.” In the current study, Cronbach's alpha was .87 for maternal overprotection/control and .86 for paternal overprotection/control.…”

Objective To develop a more reliable and comprehensive version of the Parental Facilitation of Mastery Scale (PFMS). Method In Study 1, 387 undergraduates completed an expanded PFMS (PFMS-II) and measures of parenting, perceived control, responses to early life challenges, and psychopathology. In Study 2, 182 trauma-exposed community participants completed the PFMS-II and measures of perceived control, psychopathology, and well-being. Results In Study 1, exploratory factor analysis of the PFMS-II revealed two factors. These factors replicated in Study 2; one item was removed to achieve measurement invariance across race. The final PFMS-II consisted of a ten-item overprotection scale and a seven-item challenge scale. In both samples, this measure demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity and was more reliable than the original PFMS. Parental challenge was a unique predictor of perceived control in both samples. Conclusions The PFMS-II is a valid measure of important parenting behaviors not fully captured in other measures.

“…Moreover, another study examining internal resources and adjustment across variety of domains found sense of mastery to be significantly related to social and personal adjustment in a sample of Israeli Adolescents (Lipschitz-Elhawi &Itzhaky, 2005). Relatedly, Zalta and Chambless (2011) proposed a developmental model of anxiety in which the role of parental behaviors in the etiology of childhood anxiety was mediated by perceived control. Structural equation modeling supported their proposed model and the role of both parental challenge and parental overcontrol in the development of children's perceived control.…”
