Abstract
Studies show that children from divorced families are more likely to experience emotional and behavioral problems, which is why researchers have focused on finding factors that facilitate children’s post-divorce adaptation. One of these factors is coparenting. Thus, to measure the quality of coparenting, the Coparenting Relationships Scale (CRS) was developed. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate this scale for the Romanian population. It was used a combination between the procedure of back-translation and the techniques derived from the work of a team, used for adapting the scale for Brazil-Spanish speakers. Data were obtained from a sample of 504 people. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the Romanian translation of the items. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the final factor solution with six subscales and 28 items was considered acceptable, unlike the original version of the scale, consisting of 7 factors and 35 items . The Romanian Version of CRS revealed good internal consistency on all subscales, with coefficients similar to the original scale. The Romanian Version of the CRS can be used by practitioners to assess levels of parental conflict and to design interventions for children.
