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://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30840 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:45:43 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34411 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:56:38 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47834 Wed 01 Feb 2023 13:49:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55150 Tue 16 Apr 2024 15:25:36 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35681 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:04:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15797 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:19:40 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13482 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:48 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19111 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:59 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30188 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:33 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28273 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:31 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35803 Mon 25 May 2020 12:29:46 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32416 13 on K6 and completion rate (85%) was similar between these and other fathers. Most fathers (63.1%) clicked at least one link and responses were received for 20.5% of mood tracker questions. The probability of reporting worse mood scores decreased over time. Fathers completing post study surveys (N = 101) reported that messages helped them in their experience of becoming a new dad (92.8%), as well as helping them develop a strong relationship with their new child (54.9%), and in their relationship with their partner (79%). Conclusions: The present study has demonstrated that it is both feasible and acceptable to support new fathers with SMS4dads, a relationship-focused messaging system designed to be delivered to smartphones across fathers’ transition to parenthood.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:27:04 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37324 Mon 12 Oct 2020 11:11:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53541 Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:52:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46439 Fri 25 Nov 2022 15:28:35 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46436 Fri 25 Nov 2022 12:43:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35555 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32418 Fri 01 Jun 2018 12:37:12 AEST ]]>
