Journal Article 2023 02 26 Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Strength‐Based Parenting Scale, parent-child version. Method: This correlational study included parents with teenagers aged 12 to 18 and teenagers aged 12 to 18 in Tehran. A total of 196 parents and 213 teenagers were selected using the convenience sampling method. Parents responded to the Strengths-Based Parenting Adult Scale (SBPA) and the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale (PSAM), while adolescents responded to the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire and the Questionnaire of Perceptions of Strengths-Based Parenting (PSBP). To assess the reliability and validity of the questionnaires, internal consistency coefficients, convergent validity, and exploratory factor analysis were utilized. Results: The exploratory factor analysis for the Strength‐Based Parenting Scale of adults revealed three factors: awareness of strengths, support, and encouragement. The significant correlation with parents' self-efficacy (p < 0.001; r = 0.42) indicates convergent validity. The reliability of the scale ranged from 0.65 to 0.89. The exploratory factor analysis for the Questionnaire of Perceptions of Strengths-Based Parenting of teenagers identified three factors: receiving attention and support, recognition, and opportunities. The significant correlation with adolescent psychological well-being (r = 0.16-0.59, p < 0.001) indicates convergent validity. The reliability of the scale ranged from 0.70 to 0.84 over time. Conclusion: Both questionnaires are valid and reliable tools that can be used to assess parent-child interactions with an emphasis on strengths.
