The My Children’s Future Scale (MCFS) measures the support provided by parents for their children’s careers. The aim of this study was to adapt the MCFS to Turkish and examine its psychometric characteristics in a study conducted in the Turkish context. Participants consisted of 280 parents (190 mothers and 90 fathers). The factor structure of the MCFS and measurement invariance across parent gender were examined. The unidimensional factor structure was confirmed and the scale was invariant across parent gender. In addition, the reliability of the MCFS was assessed for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients were calculated as .87, and test-retest reliability coefficient as .83. Our findings suggested that the Turkish form of the MCFS can be considered a valid and reliable data collection tool for use in Turkey to measure the support provided by parents for their children’s careers.

我的孩子的未来量表：在土耳其样本中构建效度、测量不变性和信度

我的孩子的未来量表 (MCFS) 衡量父母为孩子的职业提供的支持。本研究的目的是使 MCFS 适应土耳其语，并在土耳其语背景下进行的一项研究中检查其心理测量特征。参与者包括 280 位父母（190 位母亲和 90 位父亲）。检查了 MCFS 的因子结构和跨父母性别的测量不变性。单维因素结构得到确认，并且量表在父母性别之间是不变的。此外，还对 MCFS 的信度进行了内部一致性和重测信度的评估。Cronbach's alpha 和 McDonald's omega 系数计算为 0.87，重测信度系数为 0.83。
