Adapting a Scale to Measure Perceived Father and Mother Autonomy Support Separately

• In Event: GSIC Poster Session I

Abstract

We adapted a well-established scale to measure perceived father and mother autonomy support (FAS and MAS) separately and validated it. The factor analysis results showed that perceived FAS and MAS are distinct factors with adequate validity, reliability, model fit, and model invariance. These findings have implications for empirical measurement practices.
