Abstract

Background: Recently, several scales have been sesigned to evaluate the parental conflict in a couple or in a family. Nevertheless and despite its relevance, there is no measure instrument to evaluate the attitude towards the conflict resolution. This variable has a direct effect in the conflict management and its positive resolution, being of interest for practitioners working with families in parental conflict. Objective: The empirical validation of a questionnaire that allows to measure, in Spanish, the attitude towards the resolution of the parental conflict. Method: The sample consisted of 2618 parents. The different items were created and validated by groups of experts. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were carried out in a complementary manner. Results: Favourable evidence was obtained of a measurement model comprised by two factors (8 items) that allow the evaluation of one's own attitude towards the resolution of a parental conflict (self-reported) and the considered to have the other parent (referenced). The adjustment of the model to data was satisfactory, in the same way as the validity and reliability. Conclusions: The resulting questionnaire is valid and reliable for the measurement of the attitude towards the parental conflict.
