Abstract
The purposes of this study were to perform a psychometric analysis of the Parental Educational Styles Questionnaire and to evaluate its predictive validity on externalizing and internalizing problems in Colombian children. Participants were 680 parents (M= 37.34; SD= 9.2) of children aged between 8 and 12 years enrolled in public schools in Bogota, Colombia. The parental educational styles questionnaire and the child behavior checklist -parents format- were applied to the participants. The resulting model presents the best indicators of favorable fit according to confirmatory factorial analyses. These values show an internal consistence of the instrument. The results indicate that dysfunctional reaction to disobedience, communication difficulties and conflicts predicted internalizing and externalizing problems.

RESUMEN Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar psicométricamente el Cuestionario Estilos Educativos Parentales y evaluar su validez predictiva en factores internalizantes y externalizantes en población colombiana
These authors concluded that the factorial structure of a categorical type of parenting styles based on Baumrind’s taxonomic perspective (1971) does not provide enough clarity about parental styles; whilst a dimensional conceptualization of parental styles based on the numerical dimensions of warmth and nurturing behavior management can more accurately capture the construct
The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) presented in Table 1 show that the indexes in the fit model are better than the rates in the original model and the one-dimensional
Summary
RESUMEN Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar psicométricamente el Cuestionario Estilos Educativos Parentales y evaluar su validez predictiva en factores internalizantes y externalizantes en población colombiana. In Spain, Gómez, Martínez de Salazar, García Barranco, Cobos and Filippo (2012) conducted a pilot study of the Educational Parenting Styles Questionnaire (CEEP), They aimed to identify parenting styles, that can be risk or protective factors for clinical problems in children aged between 6 and 12. This instrument showed high reliability of 0.92, general content validity kappa index of 0.92, and construct validity in each of the five scales with factorial structures whose percentages explained between 56.5 to 65.05 of variance. Gómez et al (2012) suggested to extend the CEEP psychometric analysis to a representative sample of normal population in order to have greater predictive validity and an overall higher level of reliability
