归因理论和经验证据表明，对不良事件进行稳定、全局自因果归因的倾向与负面结果相关。然而，现有的父母归因自我报告措施并没有考虑到儿童不当行为的功能失调的父母因果归因可能是家庭功能不良的重要预测因素的可能性。为了解决这些问题，作者以 453 对社区夫妇为样本，开发并测试了一种新的衡量方法，对儿童不当行为的父母因果归因和儿童责任归因进行了测试。对新措施的结构效度、收敛效度、判别效度、内部一致性和时间稳定性进行了检验。正如预期，验证性因素分析得出 2 个因素，儿童责任（9 项）和父母因果（7 项）；最终模型在保留样本中进行了交叉验证。最终量表表现出足够的内部一致性（αs=.81–.90）、重测信度（rs=.55–.76）以及收敛和判别效度。功能失调的父母因果归因和儿童责任归因显着预测了父母的情绪问题、无效的管教、亲子间的身体攻击和低育儿满意度。亲子攻击性和养育满意度之间的关联通常大于伴侣攻击性和关系满意度之间的关联。
Attributional theory and empirical evidence suggest that a tendency to make stable, global self-causal attributions for undesirable events is associated with negative outcomes. However, existing self-report measures of parental attributions do not account for the possibility that dysfunctional parent-causal attributions for child misbehavior might be important predictors of poor family functioning. To address these concerns, the authors developed and tested a new measure of both parent-causal and child-responsible attributions for child misbehavior in a sample of 453 community couples. Structural validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency, and temporal stability of the new measure were examined. As expected, confirmatory factor analysis resulted in 2 factors, Child-Responsible (9 items) and Parent-Causal (7 items); the final model was cross-validated in a holdout sample. The final scale demonstrated adequate internal consistency (αs=. 81–. 90), test–retest reliability (rs=. 55–. 76), and convergent and discriminant validity. Dysfunctional parent-causal and child-responsible attributions significantly predicted parental emotional problems, ineffective discipline, parent–child physical aggression, and low parenting satisfaction. Associations with parent–child aggression and parenting satisfaction were generally larger than with partner aggression and relationship satisfaction.
