The "My Children's Future Scale:" Construct Validity, Measurement Invariance, and Reliability in a Turkish Sample
Australian Journal of Career Development, v29 n3 p185-195 Oct 2020
The "My Children's Future Scale" (MCFS) measures the support provided by parents for their children's careers. The aim of this study was to adapt the MCFS to Turkish and examine its psychometric characteristics in a study conducted in the Turkish context. Participants consisted of 280 parents (190 mothers and 90 fathers). The factor structure of the MCFS and measurement invariance across parent gender were examined. The unidimensional factor structure was confirmed and the scale was invariant across parent gender. In addition, the reliability of the MCFS was assessed for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients were calculated as 0.87, and test-retest reliability coefficient as 0.83. Our findings suggested that the Turkish form of the MCFS can be considered a valid and reliable data collection tool for use in Turkey to measure the support provided by parents for their children's careers.
