Evaluating Brazilian Parenting: Evidence of Validity and Invariance for Fathers and Mothers
Historically, studies on parenting were mostly based on maternal reports, generating uncertainties about its conclusions. Inverting this logic, in Brazil, the Inventory of Father Involvement (originally developed in the USA to assess men) was improved and adapted for mothers, generating the Inventor...

| description | Historically, studies on parenting were mostly based on maternal reports, generating uncertainties about its conclusions. Inverting this logic, in Brazil, the Inventory of Father Involvement (originally developed in the USA to assess men) was improved and adapted for mothers, generating the Inventory of Father and Mother Involvement (IFMI). The IFMI’s content validity was verified, but its internal structure was still unknown. This study aimed to verify evidence of validity based on its internal structure, reliability estimates and the invariance of this structure for fathers and mothers. For this purpose, 1244 fathers and mothers from 22 Brazilian states (with children aged 2 to 10) answered the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the IFMI. Exploratory (EFA; n = 621), confirmatory (CFA; n = 623) and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) were performed, and reliability estimates were verified. EFA and CFA results indicated the existence of seven factors in a second-order hierarchical structure. Reliability estimates ranged from .635 ≤ ω ≥ .875. MGCFA results indicated the invariance of this structure for fathers and mothers. In addition to the evidence of validity, these results contribute to broadening theoretical understandings about Brazilian parenting, enabling future comparative studies. It is important to further verify additional validity evidence. |

Históricamente, los estudios sobre parentalidad se basaban mayoritariamente en informes maternos, lo que genera incertidumbre sobre sus conclusiones. Invirtiendo esta lógica, en Brasil, el Inventory of Father Involvement (creado inicialmente en los Estados Unidos para padres) fue mejorado y adaptado para madres, así se creó el Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno e Materno (IEPM). Se verificó la validez de contenido del IEPM, pero no su estructura interna. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar evidencias de validez basada en su estructura interna, estimaciones de confiabilidad e invariancia de esta estructura para padres y madres. Para ello, 1244 padres y madres de 22 estados brasileños (con niños de 2 a 10 años) respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y el IEPM. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios (AFE; n = 621), confirmatorios (AFC; n = 623) y confirmatorios multigrupo (AFCMG), y se verificaron estimaciones de confiabilidad. Los resultados de la EFA y AFC indicaron la existencia de siete factores en una estructura jerárquica de segundo orden. Las estimaciones de confiabilidad oscilaron entre .635 ≤ ω ≥ .875. Los resultados de la AFCMG indicaron la invariancia da estructura para padres y madres. Además de evidencias de validez, estos resultados contribuyen a ampliar la comprensión teórica de la paternidad brasileña al permitir futuros estudios comparativos. Es importante realizar pruebas adicionales de validez.Historicamente, os estudos sobre parentalidade baseavam-se, na maioria, em relatos maternos, gerando incertezas sobre suas conclusões. Invertendo essa lógica, no Brasil, o Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno (inicialmente desenvolvido nos EUA para homens) foi aprimorado e adaptado para mães, culminando no Inventário de Envolvimento Paterno e Materno (IEPM). A validade de conteúdo do IEPM foi verificada, mas sua estrutura interna era desconhecida. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar evidências de validade com base na estrutura interna, estimativas de confiabilidade e invariância dessa estrutura para pais e mães. Para isso, 1244 pais e mães de 22 estados brasileiros (filhos de 2 a 10 anos) responderam ao Questionário Sociodemográfico e ao IEPM. Foram realizadas análises fatoriais exploratória (AFE; n = 621), confirmatória (AFC; n = 623) e confirmatória multigrupo (AFCMG) e verificadas estimativas de confiabilidade. Os resultados da AFE e AFC indicaram a existência de sete fatores, em uma estrutura hierárquica de segunda ordem. Estimativas de confiabilidade variaram de 0,635 ≤ ω ≥ 0,875. Os resultados do AFCMG indicaram a invariância desta estrutura para pais e mães. Além das evidências de validade, esses resultados contribuem para ampliar a compreensão teórica sobre a parentalidade brasileira, possibilitando futuros estudos comparativos.
