Rapidly growing evidence has shown the negative consequences of overparenting among offspring during emerging adulthood. Notwithstanding the proliferation of self-report measures that assess overparenting from the offspring’s perspective, much less frequently overparenting is assessed from the parents’ vantage point that might provide a more holistic and unfiltered depiction of their overparenting practices. To provide a brief and valid measure of overparenting from the parents’ perspective, the present study relied on four samples (n = 1722) to develop and two additional samples (n = 658) to cross-validate the 12-item Overparenting Scale – Short Form (OP-SF). The results showed that the OP-SF maintained the four dimensions of overparenting that are captured by the long form and had good internal consistency and convergent validity that are comparable to the long form. Overall, the OP-SF is a promising tool for assessing overparenting as an overall construct from a parent’s perspective.

快速增长的证据表明，在成年期对后代过度养育的负面影响。尽管从后代的角度评估过度养育的自我报告措施激增，但从父母的有利位置评估过度养育的频率要低得多，这可能会更全面和未经过滤地描述他们的过度养育行为。为了从父母的角度提供一个简短而有效的过度养育措施，本研究依赖于四个样本 ( n = 1722) 和两个额外的样本 ( n= 658) 以交叉验证 12 项过度抚养量表 - 简表 (OP-SF)。结果表明，OP-SF 保留了长表所捕获的过度养育的四个维度，并且具有与长表相当的良好内部一致性和收敛效度。总体而言，OP-SF 是一种很有前景的工具，可以从父母的角度将过度养育作为整体结构进行评估。
