Background/Objective

Psychological flexibility is an ability with positive effects in health, also in the field parenting. The aim of this study is to validate the Parental Acceptance Questionnaire (6-PAQ) in Spanish sample.

Method

A total of 426 parents (96.3% female), with an average age of 38.25 years (SD = 5.76) and with at least one child between 3 and 16 years old participated. Participants completed the 6PAQ and other instruments assessing experiential avoidance, thought suppression, satisfaction with life and symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Results

In comparison with the original model, the three-factor structural solution with 16 items obtained a better adjustment (CFI = .996; GFI = .998; TLI = .995; RMSE = .016) that refer to response styles related to psychological flexibility (open, aware and active). The 6-PAQ adaptation has shown good internal consistency, with a Cronbach alpha of .81 and a McDonald's omega of .86 for the scale, and evidence of convergent validity with significant correlations with measure of avoidance, thought suppression, satisfaction with life and anxiety.

Conclusions

The Spanish version of the 6-PAQ with the three-factor structure presents psychometric property to be considered a reliable measure and a valid instrument for the evaluation of parental psychological flexibility.

父母接受问卷 (6-PAQ) 的西班牙验证。

背景/目标

心理灵活性是一种对健康有积极影响的能力，在育儿领域也是如此。本研究的目的是验证西班牙样本中的父母接受问卷 (6-PAQ)。

方法

共有 426 名家长（96.3% 为女性），平均年龄 38.25 岁（SD  = 5.76），至少有一名 3 至 16 岁的孩子参加。参与者完成了 6PAQ 和其他评估经验性回避、思想抑制、生活满意度以及焦虑和抑郁症状的工具。

结果

与原始模型相比，包含 16 个项目的三因素结构解决方案获得了更好的调整（CFI = .996；GFI = .998；TLI = .995；RMSE = .016），指的是与心理灵活性相关的反应方式（开放、有意识和主动）。6-PAQ 适应表现出良好的内部一致性，量表的 Cronbach alpha 为 0.81，麦当劳的 omega 为 0.86，收敛效度的证据与回避、思想抑制、生活满意度和焦虑的测量显着相关.

结论

西班牙版 6-PAQ 具有三因素结构，呈现出心理测量特性，被认为是评估父母心理灵活性的可靠措施和有效工具。
