RESUMO
Parenting styles have been related to a series of variables that contribute positively to adulthood. The maternal and paternal parenting styles scale is a measure that presents a multidimensional structure of six correlated factors. However, the version available for Chile is extensive, with 82 items measuring this latent trait. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the reliability and validity of the abbreviated version of the maternal and paternal parenting styles scale using a sample of Chilean adolescents. The sample consisted of 2131 students of both the male and female sexes (51% males and 49% females) with a mean age of 15.85 years (SD = 1.37). The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the six-factor correlated model, showing robust psychometric indices for both modelling approaches. In relation to the factorial invariance models, the results show factorial equivalence at the scalar invariance level for the variables of sex, age, academic achievement, and type of school. The scale showed adequate levels of reliability. This study concludes that the abbreviated version of the maternal and paternal parenting styles scale is a reliable and valid instrument for its application in Chilean adolescents.
RESUMO
El propósito del estudio fue analizar la influencia del conflicto interparental en la aparición de problemas de conducta en adolescentes de familias intactas y monoparentales. Se utilizó un diseño explicativo que consideró prueba de medias y análisis multivariado de varianza. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 466 adolescentes de 12 a 16 años. Para la medición de las variables se utilizaron las escalas Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict (cpic) y Youth Self Report (YSR). Los resultados confirman la asociación entre conflicto interparental y problemas de conducta en los hijos, y muestran que, cuando hay conflicto en las familias intactas, se produce una mayor frecuencia de conductas externalizantes que en familias monoparentales.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence of interparental conflict in the emergence of behavior problems in teenagers of intact and single-parent families. An explicative design using mean difference test and MANOVA was used. The sample was comprised of 466 teens from 12 to 16 years old. The variables were measured using the Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict (CPIC) and Youth Self Report (YSR) scales. The results confirmed the association between interparental conflict and behavior problems in their children, and also reveal that, when there is conflict in intact families, a higher frequency of externalizing conduct is produced in these than in single-parent families.

Utilizou-se um desenho explicativo que considerou prova de médias e análise multivariada de variação. A amostra foi composta por 466 adolescentes de 12 a 16 anos. Para a medição das variáveis, foram utilizadas as escalas Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict (CPIC) e Youth Self Report (YSR). Os resultados confirmam a associação entre conflito interparental e problemas de comportamento nos filhos e mostram que, quando há conflito nas famílias intactas, se produz uma maior frequência de comportamentos externalizantes do que em famílias monoparentais.
RESUMO
La presente investigación, enmarcada en el Proyecto Fondecyt N.° 1090179, buscó identificar diferencias en las actitudes hacia la compra y el consumo entre estudiantes de Pedagogía y profesores en ejercicio de la ciudad de Temuco. La muestra estuvo conformada por 88 estudiantes y 103 profesores en ejercicio, a los cuales se aplicó la escala de actitudes hacia el consumo y la compra (Tang y Luna, 1999, citado en Gebauer, Schäfer y Soto, 2003) y escala de materialismo (Richins y Dawson, 1992). Los resultados muestran que las mujeres presentan actitudes racionales en coexistencia con actitudes impulsivas. Por otro lado, los profesores en ejercicio tienen una actitud más racional y tienden a considerar al materialismo como central en sus vidas en comparación con los estudiantes de Pedagogía. Los hallazgos se discuten con relación a los antecedentes existentes en esta línea de investigación.
The present research, framed within Fondecyt Project Number 1090179, searched to identify differences in attitudes toward purchase and consumption between pedagogy students and teachers of Temuco (Chile). The sample was formed by 88 students and 103 teachers; we applied them the Attitudes toward Consumption and Purchase Scale (Tang and Luna, 1999 as cited in Gebauer, Schäfer and Soto, 2003) and the Materialism Scale (Richins andDawson, 1992). The results show that women present rational attitudes in coexistence with impulsive attitudes. On the other side, the teachers have a rational attitude and tend to consider materialism as central in their lives compared to pedagogy students. The discoveries are discussed based on the existing antecedents in this line research.
