We proposed a higher order latent construct of parenting young children, parenting quality. This higher-order latent construct comprises five component constructs: demographic protection, psychological distress, psychosocial maturity, moral and cognitive reflectivity, and parenting attitudes and beliefs. We evaluated this model with data provided by 199 mothers of 4-year-old children enrolled in Head Start. The model was confirmed with only one adjustment suggested by modification indices. Final RMSEA was .05, CFI .96, and NNFI .94, indicating good model fit. Results were interpreted as emphasizing the interdependence of psychological and environmental demands on parenting. Implications of the model for teachers, early interventionists, and public policy are discussed.
我们提出了一个用于养育幼儿的高阶潜在结构——养育质量。这个高阶潜在结构包含五个组成结构:人口统计学保护、心理困扰、心理社会成熟度、道德和认知反思能力,以及养育态度和信念。我们使用了参与“领先计划”的199名4岁儿童母亲提供的数据对该模型进行评估。该模型仅通过修正指标提出的一项调整得到了验证。最终的近似误差均方根为0.05,比较拟合指数为0.96,非规范拟合指数为0.94,表明模型拟合良好。结果被解释为强调了心理和环境需求对养育的相互依存关系。文中还讨论了该模型对教师、早期干预人员和公共政策的启示。
