Popis: | This research evaluates the structure of subscale items on the Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale (ICES), a retrospective, self-report instrument intended to differentiate the invalidation of early childhood emotional experiences into maternal and paternal sources. Three samples (Ns of 2474, 1874, and 404) comprising over 4700 young adults participated. Analyses did not support the hypothesized two-dimensional structure of the 28 ICES items but identified three latent dimensions: mother invalidation, father active invalidation, and father passive invalidation. New subscales based on these dimensions demonstrated replicability in cross-validation, score reliability, and validity through associations with scales of theoretically related measures. Findings extend knowledge of the ICES’s structure of invalidating childhood environments and suggest a scoring scale revision for the ICES. |
