Parenting styles have been related to a series of variables that contribute positively to adulthood. The maternal and paternal parenting styles scale is a measure that presents a multidimensional structure of six correlated factors. However, the version available for Chile is extensive, with 82 items measuring this latent trait. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the reliability and validity of the abbreviated version of the maternal and paternal parenting styles scale using a sample of Chilean adolescents. The sample consisted of 2131 students of both the male and female sexes (51% males and 49% females) with a mean age of 15.85 years (SD = 1.37). The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the six-factor correlated model, showing robust psychometric indices for both modelling approaches. In relation to the factorial invariance models, the results show factorial equivalence at the scalar invariance level for the variables of sex, age, academic achievement, and type of school. The scale showed adequate levels of reliability. This study concludes that the abbreviated version of the maternal and paternal parenting styles scale is a reliable and valid instrument for its application in Chilean adolescents.
养育方式与一系列对成年期有积极影响的变量相关。父母养育方式量表是一种呈现六个相关因素多维结构的测量工具。然而，智利可用的版本篇幅较长，有82个项目来测量这一潜在特质。因此，本研究的目的是使用智利青少年样本检验父母养育方式量表简化版的信度和效度的心理测量特性。样本包括2131名男女学生（51%为男性，49%为女性），平均年龄为15.85岁（标准差=1.37）。探索性和验证性因素分析的结果支持了六因素相关模型，两种建模方法均显示出稳健的心理测量指标。关于因素不变性模型，结果表明，在性别、年龄、学业成绩和学校类型等变量的标量不变性水平上存在因素等价性。该量表显示出足够的信度水平。本研究得出结论，父母养育方式量表简化版是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于智利青少年。
