Abstract
ABSTRACT Using two independent samples, this study validated a 12-item short form of the Multidimensional Co-Parenting Scale for Dissolved Relationships (MCS-DR12). Findings supported the identified three-item subscales: Support, Overt Conflict, Self-Controlled Covert Conflict, and Externally-Controlled Covert Conflict. In a sample of parents participating in divorce education, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the factor structure and second order factor of co-parenting quality. In the second, more diverse sample, subscale factor structures were confirmed but the second order factor of co-parenting quality did not fit; further analysis revealed differences in criterion validity based on divorce status. Considerations about use with diverse populations are discussed.
