Our purpose in this research was to develop a measure that reflected cross-cultural and cultural-specific expectations of “good mothering.” We based our measure on samples of South Korean mothers (n = 626) and White mothers in the United States (n = 612). We developed an initial pool of 74 items that described good mothering in both cultures. We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses separately for each group. We found different factor structures: the South Korean sample had three factors, the United States’ sample yielded four factors. Two of these factors were similar in meaning across the groups, although the items that loaded onto these factors were not identical. Our analyses also yielded three factors unique to each group. The final instrument comprises 30 items that loaded onto both the shared and unique factors for the two groups. Additional support for the validity and reliability of the scale is presented.

良好母亲期望量表：一项国际仪器开发研究

我们在这项研究中的目的是制定一项衡量标准，以反映对“好母亲”的跨文化和特定文化期望。我们的测量基于韩国母亲（n = 626）和美国白人母亲（n = 612）的样本。我们开发了一个包含 74 个项目的初始库，描述了两种文化中的良好母爱。我们对每组分别进行了探索性和验证性因素分析。我们发现了不同的因子结构：韩国样本有三个因子，美国样本产生了四个因子。其中两个因素在各组中的含义相似，尽管加载到这些因素上的项目并不相同。我们的分析还得出了每个群体独有的三个因素。最终的工具包括 30 个项目，这些项目加载到两组的共享和独特因素上。提供了对量表有效性和可靠性的额外支持。
