Objective. The measurement equivalence of three commonly used parenting constructs (acceptance, psychological intrusiveness, and harshness) was examined across mothers and fathers. Design. A sample of 832 married individuals (416 mothers and 416 fathers) was used to test seven types of equivalence for each measure: configural, metric, scalar, unique variance, factor variance, factor mean, and functional. Results. Acceptance demonstrated configural, factor mean, and functional equivalence but not metric, scalar, unique variance, or factor variance equivalence. Psychological intrusiveness demonstrated equivalence at all levels except unique variance equivalence. Parental harshness demonstrated equivalence at all levels except factor variance equivalence. Conclusion. Investigations of measurement equivalence should be conducted before drawing substantive conclusions regarding mothering and fathering and their effects on children's development.
