Der 9 Items umfassende Fragebogen zur Selbstwirksamkeit in der Erziehung (FSW) wurde in Anlehnung an verschiedene international verbreitete Fragebögen entwickelt. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, den Fragebogen hinsichtlich seiner psychometrischen Güte sowie Validitätsaspekten zu überprüfen. Der FSW wurde anhand einer Stichprobe von N = 271 Müttern und N = 198 Vätern von Kindern zwischen 2.5 und 6.5 Jahren evaluiert. Für den Gesamtwert des FSW wurden gute interne Konsistenzen (Mütter: α = .78; Väter: α = .79) ermittelt. Die Zusammenhänge mit anderen Fragebögen fielen weitestgehend erwartungsgemäß aus. Der Fragebogen kann zukünftig in der Praxis und Forschung eingesetzt werden.


The Parenting Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (FSW)

The parenting self-efficacy questionnaire (FSW), consisting of 9 items and developed based on several internationally renowned instruments, measures parental self-efficacy. The purpose of this paper is to assess the psychometric quality and validity of the FSW. The FSW was evaluated using a sample of N = 271 mothers and N = 198 fathers of children who were 2.5 to 6.5 years old. Good values of internal consistency were found for the total score of the FSW (Mothers: α = .78; Fathers: α = .79). Correlations with other questionnaires were mostly found to be as expected. The questionnaire is suitable for future use in both practice and research.
