Based on existing evidence, the development of the concept of parental wisdom is regarded as a recent and significant effort by psychologists to analyze the contextual and functional characteristics of the complex and multidimensional construct of wisdom within parenting context. Since studying wisdom in this context requires a valid and reliable measurement tool, this study aimed to evaluate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Parenting Wisdom Scale (Boumpouli et al., 2022). A sample of 300 mothers from cultural centers in eastern Tehran completed the Parenting Wisdom Scale, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire – Parent Version (Luthans et al., 2007), and the Empowering Parenting Scale (Jach et al., 2018). Confirmatory factor analysis empirically supported a four first-order factor model—perspective change, reflectiveness, emotional regulation, and learning from life experiences. The scale also showed convergent validity through its correlations with psychological capital and empowering parenting. Internal consistency coefficients for the total scale and the subscales of perspective change, reflectiveness, emotional regulation, and learning from life experiences were 0.93, 0.87, 0.86, 0.84, and 0.85, respectively. Overall, these findings provide robust evidence of the factorial validity and reliability of the Persian Parenting Wisdom Scale, confirming it as a sound instrument for assessing parental wisdom among mothers. |
