Abstract

COSTA, Pedro Alexandre; GARCIA, Inês Queiroz; TASKER, Fiona  and  LEAL, Isabel. Adaptation of the complete and brief versions of the Coparenting Relationship Scale in a community sample of Portuguese fathers and mothers. Psicologia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.1, pp.236-248. ISSN 0874-2049.  https://doi.org/10.17575/psicologia.v34i1.1598.

The Coparenting Relationship Scale (ERC) is one of the most used measures to evaluate coparenting relationship. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the complete and brief versions of the ERC in a community sample of 779 Portuguese fathers and mothers, aged between 23 and 65 years (M = 42.73, SD = 5.27). Confirmatory factor analyzes provided evidence of good model fit, internal reliability, and convergent validity, although in both versions the Division of labor dimension was eliminated. Regarding discriminant validity, two out of the seven dimensions - Coparenting agreement and Coparenting support - did not show evidence of discriminant validity. Concurrent validity was also tested and confirmed through the correlations between the dimensions of the ERC and the dimensions of the RDAS (dyadic adjustment) and the SDQ (child adjustment).

Keywords : Coparenting; psychometric validation; marital relationship; dyadic adjustment.
