An advantage of CC is that it bridges a gap between family systems thinking and efficacy theory, where extant research and theory have focused on the self-efficacy of one or both parents. This study aimed to develop a self-reported measure of CC. Methodology: Participants (n = 302), including cohabiting mothers (n = 240) and fathers (n = 62), completed an online survey (112 items) comprising demographic questions, the Coparenting Relationship Scale (CRS), the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and 36 items designed to explore perceptions of CC. Results: Factor analyses on 36-CC items identified 10 items that reliably formed a brief Coparenting Competence Scale (CCS; Alpha = 0.89). Analysis of convergent and divergent validity demonstrated that the CCS measures a unique construct that is linked to parenting self-efficacy, measured by PSOC (r = 0.47), and coparenting quality, assessed by the CRS (r = 0.63). There was a significant association between CCS and SDQ across age groups and an association stronger than that found for the CRS and SDQ in the current cohort. Conclusions and Implications: The study found support for the reliability and validity of the CCS. Coparenting competence, assessed by the CCS, was found to be distinct from factors previously used to represent coparenting quality in multivariate scales. The strength of associations between the CCS and SDQ suggests this new measure may have an important role in coparenting research.]]> Wed 27 Sep 2023 15:30:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15001 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:59:24 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38221 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:27:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34409 Wed 06 Mar 2019 10:42:34 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38636 Thu 14 Mar 2024 12:13:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28273 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:31 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32321 Mon 23 Sep 2019 14:01:43 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32322 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:54:28 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32323 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:30:01 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32320 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:07:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32324 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:14:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45821 Mon 07 Nov 2022 12:24:56 AEDT ]]>
