Abstract
The present study aims to translate the questionnaires of Parents’ Attitudes toward Early Childhood Career Development (PAECCD) and Parents’ Attitudes toward Vocational Education Implementation in Preschool Curriculum (PAVEIPC) into Chinese versions (PAECCD-C and PAVEIPC-C) and examines their reliability and validity through two studies. In Study 1, exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) were conducted to evaluate their factor structure among 232 Chinese preschoolers’ parents. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were conducted to confirm their factor structures among other 355 Chinese preschoolers’ parents, supporting the superiority of the initial theoretical model. Multigroup CFA comparisons indicated the measurement invariance for fathers and mothers. The PAECCD-C and PAVEIPC-C had excellent reliability values from .82 to .92. This study added to the existing research literature by supporting the applicability of PAECCD and PAVEIPC among Chinese preschoolers’ parents.
