| description | ABSTRACT Purpose Despite the increasing interest in positive psychology and the functional characteristics of one of its practical derivations, strength‐based parenting, there is a paucity of information regarding the assessment tools for strength‐based parenting and their psychometric properties. Thus, this study aimed to translate the Strength‐Based Parenting Scale (SBPS) into Persian and investigate its validity and reliability among Iranian adolescents. Method Of the 645 adolescents who completed the Persian translation of the SBPS (349 females, Mage = 14.01 years, SDage = 0.82, range = 13–15), 300 also answered the Mental Toughness Scale for Adolescents and the Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale. Finding Confirmatory factor analysis supported a two‐factor structure comprising dimensions of “knowledge of strengths” and “use of strengths,” the measurement invariance of which was established across sexes and school grades. The two dimensions were significantly and strongly correlated with the constructs of mental toughness and psychological resilience (r = 0.36–0.65, p < 0.01), corroborating the criterion‐related validity of the SBPS. Furthermore, excellent internal consistency coefficients were observed for both subscales (0.96–0.97). Conclusion Our findings substantiate the positions derived from positive psychology, upon which the conceptual foundation of strength‐based parenting is built, and provide preliminary support for the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the SBPS. |
