A Study of Validity on the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form(PSI-SF) for Grandmothers of Infants and Toddlers

Parenting Stress Index-Short Form: psychometric properties of the Spanish version in mothers of children aged 0 to 8 years

“…Three other studies considered the three-factor model as the best choice due to its clinical value although with suboptimal fit indices (Lee et al, 2016;Reitman et al, 2002;Touchèque et al, 2016). Another group of studies involving both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses concluded that the three-factor model was appropriate but removed some items (Dardas & Ahmad, 2014;Deater-Deckard & Scarr, 1996;Kang et al, 2017;Luo et al, 2019) or proposed two-factor (Haskett et al, 2006) models. Despite statistical analyses (confirmatory or exploratory factor analyses) and the amount of dimensions/factors proposed for the PSI-SF, all the studies reported moderate to high correlations between them, supporting the theoretical assumption that the relationship between PSI-SF's dimensions can be considered oblique.…”
