“…Correspondingly, Study 1 reported the highest proportion of the valid family type among the sample, followed by selective controlling , typical , perfect , and chaotic family types. While this result was similar to Vieira et al’s (2020) finding that typical family is the most prevalent invalidating type in Portugal, it confirms Io et al’s (2021) research that selective controlling is an additional type of the invalidating family environment, which can be widely found in Chinese culture.…”

The present study aims to develop the Chinese Invalidating Family Scale (CIFS) and examine its psychometric properties. The CIFS comprises two parts that measure the degree (Part 1) and types (Part 2) of family invalidation. Study 1 explored the structure and reliability of the CIFS using data from Sample 1 (N = 1323; M age = 26.3) and Sample 2 (N = 152; M age = 25.1). Part 1 of the CIFS is separated into father (20 items) and mother (27 items) subscales. Exploratory factor analysis identified four factors for the father subscale and five factors for the mother subscale. The shared factors are neglect, denial, emotional dysregulation, and overemphasis on achievements, while psychological control is the unique dimension for Mother subscale. Part 2 includes five items assessing the types of family environment. Results indicated acceptable to good reliability of the CIFS, with Cronbach's α higher than 0.60, split‐half reliability higher than 0.70, ICCs higher than 0.70, and high criterion‐related validity. Study 2 examined the structure and the validity of Part 1 with Sample 3 (N = 2282; M age = 19.90) through confirmatory factor analysis. Part 1 showed good construct validity (RMSEAs = 0.05, GFI, NFI, CFI, and AGFI >0.90) and acceptable convergent validity (AVE >0.36, CR >0.76). Overall, the CIFS is a promisingly stable and valid tool to evaluate the invalidating family environment in Chinese culture.

“…Moreover, CFAs performed on a clinical sample of individuals with eating disorders (ED) suggested that the data were better represented by the two-factor model as opposed to the one-factor model. The two-factor and one-factor models obtained in our study were aligned with the models obtained in other studies, such as the model obtained in the USA ( 15 ), the CFA used in the French version ( 16 ), the model obtained in the Portuguese version ( 17 ), and the model established in the Spanish version ( 19 ). These studies demonstrate that the ICES factor structure is consistent among Western cultures.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, psychometric properties of the ICES have been assessed exclusively in the United States (maternal invalidation alpha = 0.90; paternal invalidation alpha = 0.88) ( 15 ), France (maternal invalidation alpha = 0.84; paternal invalidation alpha = 0.87) ( 16 ), Portugal (non-clinical sample alpha = 0.912; clinical sample alpha = 0.932) ( 17 ), Turkey (maternal invalidation alpha = 0.84; paternal invalidation alpha 0.87) ( 18 ), and Spain (maternal invalidation alpha = 0.83; paternal invalidation alpha = 0.83) ( 19 ). The factor structure of the scale has demonstrated inconsistent results.…”

“…Three models have been proposed so far. Existing models include a one-factor structure encompassing 14 items as suggested by Alpay, Bellur and Aydin ( 18 ), a two-dimensional model with 14 items as proposed by Puddington, Wright and Gagliesi ( 19 ) and Vieira, Gonçalves ( 17 ), and another study by Robertson, Kimbrel and Nelson-Gray ( 15 ) that recommended a one-factor model with the omission of five items ( 2 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 ). Considering that the third model has removed five items just by modification indices, in this study, we investigate two other cases and compare one-factor and two-factor models with 14 items.…”

Objective: To understand the consequences of an invalidating environment, it is essential to have a measurement tool with appropriate statistical properties. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to render the ICES (Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale) into Persian and subsequently evaluate the psychometric attributes of this translated version. Method: Data were collected from 1221 nonclinical participants, including 1053 females and 168 males, who were students at medical universities in Tehran, Iran. Several questionnaires, such as the ICES, CTQ (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire), DTS (Distress Tolerance Scale), BIS-11 (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale), Self-Compassion Questionnaire, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, and EAT-26 (Eating AttitudesTest) were used in the study. The data sets were investigated through SPSS and R language to evaluate the ICES' reliability and construct validity. Additionally, Item Response Theory (IRT) was employed with the Graded Response Model (GRM) to measure the psychometric properties of each item in terms of difficulty and discrimination parameters. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that both single-factor and two-factor models fit well for both maternal and paternal versions of the ICES. The internal consistency, as assessed by Cronbach's alpha, was high and satisfactory for both maternal (0.87) and paternal (0.87) versions. Notably, the IRT analysis revealed that item 9 performed poorly in both maternal and paternal versions. Compared to the one-factor model, the two-factor model demonstrated a superior fit. Additionally, the test-retest reliability of the ICES over two months demonstrated good reliability for both maternal and paternal versions (0.98). Divergent and convergent validity analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between childhood invalidation environment and distress tolerance (r = 0.175, P < 0.01) as well as self-compassion (r = 0.142, P < 0.01), which were inversely related to the ICES. Furthermore, there was a considerably positive correlation between the invalidating environment experienced during childhood and impulsivity, as evidenced by r = 0.196 and P < 0.01. Conclusion: This study established the favorable psychometric properties of the Persian version of the ICES, indicating that this version is reliable and valid to assess the Invalidating Childhood Environment in the Iranian population. However, further investigations are warranted to reevaluate its validity and reliability.

“…Invalidating Childhood Environments Scale (ICES). The ICES [6,23] consists of 14 items that evaluates maternal and paternal behaviours, defining a separate invalidating score for each parent [7]. Participants rated their experiences with each parent up to the age of 18 years old using the first 14 items on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (all of the time).…”
