Versión española del Cuestionario de Función Reflexiva Parental (CFRP-18)

Résumé

To date, no self-report tool is available for assessing parental reflective functioning ability in Spanish. Therefore, the first aim of this study is to analyse the factor structure and the psychometric properties of the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ) in Spanish-speaking fathers (n=113) and mothers (n=433) of babies aged 0 to 3 years old. The average age of fathers was 37.85 (SD=3.96), and 36.15 years (SD=4.19) for mothers. In addition, the relationship of the dimensions of CFRP-18 with socio-demographic features of mothers and fathers is analyzed. Secondly, we investigate the factorial invariance of the CFRP-18 in mothers and fathers. A confirmatory factor analysis showed an adequate fit to the data, providing evidence that the CFRP-18 is a useful self-report tool to assess parental reflective functioning. This study also provides preliminary evidence for the factorial invariance of the CFRP-18.
