Inventario de participación en la crianza durante la infancia (IPC-I): Desarrollo y validación inicial
Abstract
El presente capítulo describe el desarrollo y la validación inicial del Inventario de Participación en la Crianza durante la Infancia (IPC-I), un instrumento diseñado para evaluar la participación paterna en la crianza de hijos e hijas de entre 2 y 6 años. Partiendo del modelo tripartito de Lamb y colaboradores, así como de aportaciones posteriores sobre implicación paterna, se construyó una escala orientada a medir diferentes dimensiones de la participación en la crianza: implicación, accesibilidad, responsabilidad y participación. La validación inicial se realizó con una muestra de 214 progenitores varones españoles. Los análisis psicométricos permitieron depurar la escala hasta una versión de 16 ítems, con una estructura factorial coherente y adecuados índices de consistencia interna. Los resultados sugieren que el IPC-I constituye una herramienta prometedora para evaluar la participación paterna en la infancia temprana, aunque se señalan limitaciones propias de una validación preliminar y la necesidad de futuros estudios confirmatorios en muestras más amplias y diversas.
This chapter presents the development and initial validation of the Inventory of Involvement in Childrearing during Childhood (IPC-I), an instrument designed to assess fathers’ participation in the upbringing of children aged 2 to 6 years. Drawing on Lamb and colleagues’ tripartite model, as well as later contributions on father involvement, the scale was developed to measure different dimensions of childrearing participation: engagement, accessibility, responsibility, and participation. The initial validation was conducted with a sample of 214 Spanish male caregivers. Psychometric analyses led to a refined 16-item version of the instrument, showing a coherent factorial structure and adequate internal consistency indices. The findings suggest that the IPC-I is a promising tool for assessing paternal involvement during early childhood. However, as this is an initial validation study, the chapter highlights the need for future confirmatory analyses and further research with larger and more diverse samples.
