The study sought to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Parental Attitudes Toward Firearms Survey (PATFS), a self-report measure of parental attitudes about firearms and parenting behavior. The initial item pool was generated based on a literature review and discussion with experts in violence reduction, psychometrics, and public health. Data were collected online from 362 volunteers and subjected to exploratory factor analysis which revealed a 13-item, 3-factor solution accounting for 59.7% of the variance. The 3 conceptual factors (subscales) were interpreted as Firearms Exposure, Parental Control, and Violent Play. The PATFS demonstrated good internal consistency and content and construct validity. The PATFS can be used to investigate parenting attitudes and behaviors specific to firearms and violent play.
该研究旨在开发并评估《父母对枪支的态度调查问卷》（PATFS）的心理测量特性，这是一种用于自我报告父母对枪支态度及育儿行为的测量工具。初始项目池是基于文献综述以及与减少暴力、心理测量学和公共卫生领域专家的讨论而生成的。数据通过在线方式从362名志愿者处收集，并进行了探索性因素分析，结果显示一个由13个项目组成的三因素模型，该模型解释了59.7%的方差。这三个概念因素（子量表）被解释为枪支接触、父母管控和暴力游戏。PATFS表现出良好的内部一致性以及内容效度和结构效度。PATFS可用于调查与枪支及暴力游戏相关的育儿态度和行为。
