Publisher: | Consorcio de Universidades Mexicanas A.C. | Description: | The purpose of the present research was to validate and to establish the reliability of the Parental Attachment Instrument developed by Parker, Tupling & Brown (1979), in a Mexican sample consisting of 125 women from the city of Toluca. The original instrument is constituted by two scales, overprotection and care, with a total of 25 items which measure attachment styles: control without affection, affective constriction, absent attachment and optimal attachment. The instrument was administered individually and in small groups at home or at the workplace of the participants. Factor analysis and Cronbach’s Alfa were calculated in order to assess its validity and reliability. According to the results, 22 final items were retained, accounting for 56% of the total variance and with an internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha) of 0.93. Both scales of the original instrument were maintained: Overprotection and Caretaking, with values for Cronbach’s Alpha being 0.96 and 0.70, respectively. It is concluded that the instrument has adequate validity and reliability for Mexican samples. Additionally, the results indicate that the majority of the participants presented a tendency towards healthful attachment (optimal or average), although a minority was characterized by a more negative attachment type of control without affection, affective constriction and weak or absent bonds. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo validar y confiabilizar el Instrumento de Vínculo Parental de Parker, Tupling y Brown (1979), en una muestra de 125 mujeres mexicanas de la ciudad de Toluca. El instrumento original está constituido por dos escalas; sobreprotección y cuidado con 25 reactivos que permiten obtener los estilos vinculares: control sin afecto, constricción afectiva, vínculo ausente y vínculo óptimo. Se aplicó de manera individual y colectiva en su vivienda o lugar de trabajo de las participantes. Para llevar a cabo la validez se utilizó el análisis factorial y para obtener la confiabilidad el Alpha de Cronbach. De acuerdo con los resultados, quedaron 22 reactivos finales que permiten explicar el 56% de la varianza con una consistencia interna Alpha de Cronbach de 0.93. Por otra parte, se mantuvieron las escalas Sobreprotección con una confiabilidad de Alpha de Cronbach de 0.96 y Cuidado con 0.70. Se concluye que el Instrumento de Vínculo Parental es válido y tiene una consistencia interna adecuada, además cabe mencionar que la mayoría se ubicó en, o tuvo tendencia a un tipo de vínculo saludable como promedio u óptimo, en contraste con una minoría que se caracterizó por un vínculo control sin afecto, constricción afectiva, ausente o débil. |
