Positive family functioning during adolescence is usually studied analyzing parents' competences and children's relationship abilities. We present an instrument for the assessment of parental competence, which encompasses both educational style and transmission of values. The objective of the study was to analyze its factor structure and to assess its value in predicting adolescent outcomes. We recruited 2,459 high school students, aged 12-15, in 40 schools from Spain, Peru, Mexico, and Chile. They responded to the instrument and to other questions regarding lifestyles. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out in order to assess the internal structure of the instrument, and internal consistency of the resulting dimensions was calculated. Finally, regression analyses were performed to establish associations between the parenting dimensions and adolescent outcomes. Factor analyses showed a consistent structure, with good fit indices in the four countries. The final four factors include parenting styles (Warmth and Demandingness) and education in values (Fortitude and Privacy). Regression analyses showed associations with adolescent outcomes. For example, adolescents' life satisfaction was best predicted by Warmth and Education in fortitude. Practical implications are suggested.
青春期家庭功能良好通常通过分析父母的能力和孩子的关系能力来进行研究。我们提出了一种评估父母能力的工具，它涵盖了教育方式和价值观的传递。本研究的目的是分析其因素结构，并评估其在预测青少年结果方面的价值。我们从西班牙、秘鲁、墨西哥和智利的40所学校招募了2459名年龄在12至15岁之间的高中生。他们对该工具以及其他有关生活方式的问题做出了回应。进行了探索性和验证性因素分析，以评估该工具的内部结构，并计算所得维度的内部一致性。最后，进行回归分析以确定育儿维度与青少年结果之间的关联。因素分析显示出一致的结构，在四个国家中拟合指数良好。最终的四个因素包括育儿方式（温暖和要求）以及价值观教育（坚韧和隐私）。回归分析显示了与青少年结果的关联。例如，温暖和坚韧教育对青少年的生活满意度预测效果最佳。文中提出了实际意义。
