摘要

Objective

To investigate the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Chinese version of the Digital Play Parental Mediation Scale of Children’s Digital Game Use within a sample of Chinese parents.

Methods

The study use 995 valid responses retained for analysis. The Parenting Styles Scale, Parent–Child Attachment Scale, and Short‑Form Video Addiction Scale were used as validity criteria. After a three‑week interval, 237 parents were randomly selected for retest to examine temporal stability.

Results

Exploratory factor analysis supported a four‑factor structure, accounting for 73.69% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity (CFI = 0.89, TLI = 0.88, SRMR = 0.07, RMSEA = 0.07). The scale demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α > 0.7) and test–retest reliability (r > 0.7). Moreover, measurement invariance across gender groups was established.

Conclusion

The Chinese version of the Digital Parental Play Mediation Scale shows satisfactory reliability and validity among Chinese parents. It can be used to assess parental mediation behaviors in the context of children’s digital gaming and allows for meaningful comparisons across genders.
