MARQUES PORTUGAL, Alda Patricia y MARQUES ALBERTO, Isabel Maria. Perception Scale of Parenting Communication (compa): Development and Validation of a Parent-Child Communication measure. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.1, pp.85-103. ISSN 1794-4724.
The main goal of this study was the presentation of the psychometric characteristics of the Scale of Parenting Communication (COMPA): parental version, adolescent version (12-16 years old) and children version (7-11 years old). This instrument has the purpose of evaluating the percepction of parents and children regarding their communication. The sample was composed of 803 parents and 619 children sampled from a Portuguese population. The results of an exploratory factor analysis revealed a five factor structure for the parental version (emotional support/affective expression, α:.821; parental availability to communication, α:.732; metacommunication, α:.725; parental confidence/sharing, α:.753; children confidence/sharing α:.615) and for the adolescent version (parental availability to communication, α:.865; children confidence/sharing, α:.873; emotional support/affective expression, α:.838; metacommunication, α:.805; negative communication patterns, α:.650) and a two factor structure for the children version (parental availability to communication, a: .842; emotional support/affective expression, α:.784). This factorial structure was confirmed by structural equations analysis. The levels of internal consistency of COMPA seem to be appropriate for research and clinical use.
