To assess scale reliability and factorial validity of the Maternal and Paternal Antenatal Attachment Scale in a German sample.
Prenatal bonding to the child is an important aspect for parents and has been associated with the early parent-child relationship. The maternal and paternal versions of the Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS/PAAS) with the dimensions bonding quality and intensity are among the best-established questionnaires for parental-fetal bonding. However, a German translation of the PAAS and investigations of the factor structure of both MAAS and PAAS are still lacking.
263 women and 128 men from Hamburg, Germany, were assessed during pregnancy (total sample = 391).
Factor analyses did not support the original factor structures of both scales. Still, two factors equivalent to the original quality and intensity dimensions were identified. Scale reliability for the extracted factors was satisfying to good for both instruments.
The revised 13-item versions for MAAS and PAAS are proposed as reliable and valuable measurements of parental-foetal bonding. The scales contribute to the cross-cultural comparison of research on maternal and paternal-foetal bonding. Identifying parents with bonding difficulties already prenatally can enable specific forms of support addressing the parent-child-relationship in the peripartum period.

在德国样本中评估母婴产前依恋量表和父婴产前依恋量表的信度及因子效度。
产前与孩子建立情感联系对父母而言是一个重要方面，且与早期的亲子关系相关。母婴产前依恋量表（MAAS）和父婴产前依恋量表（PAAS）的母婴及父婴版本，其维度包括情感联系质量和强度，是用于评估父母与胎儿情感联系的最权威问卷之一。然而，PAAS的德文译本以及MAAS和PAAS的因子结构研究仍付诸阙如。
对来自德国汉堡的263名女性和128名男性在孕期进行评估（总样本 = 391）。
因子分析不支持两个量表的原始因子结构。不过，仍识别出了与原始质量和强度维度相当的两个因子。两种工具所提取因子的量表信度均令人满意或良好。
建议将修订后的13项MAAS和PAAS版本作为评估父母与胎儿情感联系的可靠且有价值的测量工具。这些量表有助于母婴及父婴情感联系研究的跨文化比较。在产前识别出有情感联系困难的父母，能够在围产期提供针对亲子关系的特定形式支持。
