| Abstract | This study addresses a critical gap in parenting research by evaluating the measurement invariance of the Perceived Mindful Parenting Scale (PMPS) across fathers and mothers, as reported by Thai adolescents. While mindful parenting has been linked to positive youth outcomes, it remains unclear whether existing measures function equivalently across parents. Utilizing a sample of 484 Thai junior high school students, the study assessed the PMPS, which measures parental efficacy and being in the moment with the child. Through multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses (MG-CFA), configural, metric, scalar, and residual invariance were evaluated. The results confirm the original two-factor structure of mindful parenting and establish measurement invariance across parent groups. Emphasizing the significance of culturally relevant child-report measures, this research supports the PMPS's utility in comparing mindful parenting across genders in the Thai context. Therefore, this study promotes human sustainability as promoting mindful parenting contributes to adolescent emotional well-being and stronger family resilience, thereby enhancing key components of a more sustainable society. |
