| Sumario: | The objective of this investigationwas to obtain construct validity and internal consistency of the maternal locus of control scale for mothers with adolescent children. 765 mothers from single-parent and biparental families in Mexico City participated voluntarily (Mage= 42 years, SD= 6.66). Non-probabilistic, convenience sampling was used. An orthogonal rotation principal component analysis was performed. 30 items and 6 factors that explained 51.09% of the variance (internal consistency = .740) were obtained. Structural equation modeling was performed to confirm structure. The index of adjustment values were: chi square = 611.528, df= 356 > .05; NFI = .900; IFI = .956; CFI = .955; RMSEA = .031 (LO 90 = .026, HI 90 = .035). The scale proved to be valid and reliable to measure the maternal locus of control. |
