“…Results showed that the IPPA had good psychometric properties, with Cronbach alphas ranging from good to excellent, with α = .88 for parental trust, α = .84 for parental communication, α = .82 for parental alienation, α = .90 for peer trust, α = .89 for peer communication, and α = .74 for peer alienation. Moreover, their CFA results also confirmed that the original three-factor structure would indeed be suitable for the scale [ 12 ]. In Turkey, however, a new three-factor model was suggested.…”

“…In the Peruvian validation study of the IPPA-R, CFA results showed that the original three-factor structure had acceptable fit indices [ 11 ]. More recently, the psychometric properties of the IPPA were measured in a clinical and non-clinical sample of Cypriot adolescents [ 12 ]. Results showed that the IPPA had good psychometric properties, with Cronbach alphas ranging from good to excellent, with α = .88 for parental trust, α = .84 for parental communication, α = .82 for parental alienation, α = .90 for peer trust, α = .89 for peer communication, and α = .74 for peer alienation.…”

Despite growing evidence supporting the importance of the quality of attachment during adolescence, no studies have been conducted to date in the Arab world due to an absence of valid and reliable tools to measure this construct in Arabic. The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment–Revised (IPPA-R) was devised as a self-report questionnaire in English to assess the quality of adolescent attachment to mother, father, and peers, each scale consisting of 25 items. The current study sets out to determine the psychometric properties of the Arabic IPPA-R and to explore attachment styles in Lebanon in a sample of 765 Lebanese adolescents. Results suggested a modified three-factor structure to reach satisfactory reliability of the Arabic IPPA-R, resulting in a modified questionnaire consisting of 19 items for each of mother (α = .82) and father (α = .85), and 21 items for peers (α = .89). Strict measurement invariance across gender was achieved for the IPPA-R parental forms, while only scalar invariance was achieved for the IPPA-R peers form. Overall, there were significant differences in attachment scores to mother and father, with adolescents scoring higher on attachment to mother, with both scores being significantly lower than attachment to peers. Gender differences were found on the peer scale with girls scoring significantly higher than boys. Results are interpreted from a cultural lens, emphasizing the importance of accounting for cultural, religious, and socio-economic factors in understanding adolescent attachment. This study is the first conducted in the Arab region and provides a road map to understanding gender-roles, parental expectations and adolescent perceived parenting, and their impact on adolescent attachment scores.

“…Asimismo, tradicionalmente los vínculos de apego que los adolescentes tienen con sus padres han sido analizados como una sola unidad, sin tener en cuenta que dichos vínculos de apego son relaciones específicas, mantenidas con una persona concreta (Ainsworth, 1982;Main y Weston, 1981). En particular, algunas investigaciones parecen encontrar una tendencia a que el apego con la figura ma-terna sea de mayor calidad en comparación con el vínculo de apego con el padre (Guarnieri, et al, 2010;Demetriou, 2022). En casos de divorcio parental, parece que la calidad de las relaciones de apego puede verse influida por el estrés generado en el sistema familiar (Hetherington y Kelly, 2002).…”

Guided by social cognitive theory and past empirical findings, the study’s conceptual model posited that parent-child trust promotes positive youth mental health through the pathways of social self-efficacy and self-blame. Using longitudinal data from 129 children aged 10–14 who participated over three waves of data collection in fall 2019, spring 2020, and spring 2021, this study extends current knowledge by examining potential mediators of the relationship between child-reported parent-child trust and youth mental health. Significant indirect pathways indicated that social self-efficacy fully mediated the association between perceived parent-child trust and youth mental health, and self-blame did not. Results of the study aligned with the social cognitive theory perspective that youth outcomes can be influenced by the acquisition of social skills through observational learning of healthy models, such as parents. Findings suggest that a tiered intervention model that utilizes social emotional learning and parent-based prevention could improve adolescent mental health.
