This paper describes development and validation of the Parental Psychological Flexibility (PPF) Questionnaire, a parent-report measure designed to assess psychological flexibility among parents of pre-adolescents and adolescents (aged 10-18 years). Psychological flexibility within parenting refers to parents' accepting negative thoughts, emotions and urges about one's child and still acting in ways that are consistent with effective parenting. Exploratory factor analysis (n = 178 parents) of a 43-item draft measure, resulted in a 30-item, 3-factor structure. Three subscales were created, consistent with the psychological flexibility literature: acceptance, cognitive defusion and committed action. A second sample of parents (n = 192) was then used to confirm the factor structure and reliability and validity of the PPF. Results supported the 3-factor structure, reduced the number of items to 19 and demonstrated that the PPF subscales have adequate reliability and validity and are thus suitable for researching psychological flexibility among parents of pre-adolescents and adolescents.
本文描述了父母心理灵活性（PPF）问卷的编制与验证过程。该问卷由父母自评，旨在评估青春期前及青少年（10 - 18岁）父母的心理灵活性。养育过程中的心理灵活性是指父母能够接纳关于自己孩子的消极想法、情绪和冲动，同时仍以符合有效养育方式的行为行事。对一份包含43个条目的初始量表进行探索性因素分析（样本为178名父母），得出了一个包含30个条目、3个因子的结构。据此创建了三个分量表，与心理灵活性文献一致：接纳、认知解离和坚定行动。随后，使用另一组父母样本（n = 192）来确认PPF的因子结构以及信效度。结果支持了三因子结构，将条目数减少至19个，并表明PPF分量表具有足够的信效度，因此适用于研究青春期前及青少年父母的心理灵活性。
