description Abstract Background The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a parent-rated parenting assessment scale including positive and negative dimensions of parenting. Factorial validity, reliability, measurement invariance, latent mean differences and construct validity of the Assessment Scale of Positive and Negative Parenting Behavior (FPNE) were tested in a pooled sample of five studies of 1,879 school-aged children (6.00 to 12.11 years). Methods Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed on a first randomized split-half sample, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) were conducted in the second half of the sample. Measurement invariance tests were conducted to assess factor structure equivalence across gender and age. Results The EFA results supported a two-factor structure and the CFA results revealed a model with two correlated factors (Positive Parenting, Negative Parenting), which included 23 items and showed acceptable model fit and good psychometric properties. ESEM did not yield a model with significantly better model fit. Internal consistencies were acceptable. Adequate concurrent validity was demonstrated by low to moderate correlations between the FPNE and similar constructs. The factor structure was invariant (configural, metric, scalar) across different age groups and gender. Tests of latent mean differences revealed that older children scored significantly higher on negative parenting than younger children, while boys showed lower levels of positive parenting and higher levels of negative parenting compared to girls. All effect sizes were small. Conclusions The results suggest that the FPNE is a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of parenting.
