The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire-9 (APQ-9) is a widely used brief measure of parenting behaviors. However, the reliability coefficients of the three APQ-9 subscales vary substantially. A reliability generalization meta-analysis was conducted on the three APQ-9 subscales to (a) estimate mean internal consistency reliability values and (b) examine the sources of variance. A total of 113 coefficient alphas from 31,572 informants, across 32 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results showed acceptable mean α values (.84 for positive parenting, .66 for inconsistent discipline, and .70 for poor supervision subscales). Moderator analyses results found that differences in coefficient αs of the three subscales were influenced by numerous variables including administration format, country, language version, population, the mean and standard deviation of scores, and sample size. Our findings support the utility of the parent-report APQ-9 as a useful measure of parenting behaviors. Future research direction is also discussed.

《阿拉巴马父母问卷-9（APQ-9）》是一种广泛使用的父母行为简短测量工具。然而，该问卷的三个分量表的信度系数差异很大。本研究对三个 APQ-9 分量表进行了可靠性概括性元分析，以：（a）估计平均内部一致性信度值；（b）检验方差的来源。本元分析共纳入了 32 项研究中的 31572 名报告者的 113 个系数 α。结果表明，各分量表的平均 α 值（积极养育分量表为.84，不一致纪律分量表为.66，不良监督分量表为.70）处于可接受范围。对系数 α 的调节分析结果表明，三个分量表的信度系数差异受到多种变量的影响，包括管理格式、国家、语言版本、人群、分数的均值和标准差以及样本量。本研究结果支持使用父母报告的 APQ-9 作为有用的父母行为测量工具。此外，还讨论了未来的研究方向。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
