Resumen:
Sumario:The aim of this research was to build a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate Parental Alienation (PA) in Chilean kids, between 9 and 15 years. This project started by the need of an instrument to collect evidence of child/parent bond obstruction, a source of severe intra-family child abuse observed in conflictive divorce situations. The items were constructed based on theoretical conceptualization of PA and submitted to expert’s judges who agreed to review and enriched them, to be later submitted to statistical analysis and successive adjustments. The final outcome consists of 29 items, 8 components and two dimensions instrument (Dimension I: Alpha value of .777, Dimension II: Alpha value of .884). This scale was applied to a sample of 1.181 children from 9 to 15 years-old with separated parents, of the south-central regions of Chile. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed on the theoretical structure previously proposed, observing acceptable adjustment values.
