Psychometric properties of JPSS (Japanese parenting style scale) between mother and father in West Java, Indonesia.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Accurate measurement of parenting styles is essential for understanding disciplinary practices and comparing mother and father contributions in Indonesian cultural context. In this context, Japanese Parenting Style Scale (JPSS) assesses warmth, hostility, permissiveness, and harsh control, but psychometric evidence for Indonesian adaptation and measurement equivalence between mothers and fathers remains limited. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the initial psychometric properties of Indonesian version of JPSS and examine potential parental differences and measurement bias. Methods: Participants were parents of preschool-aged children recruited from several cities in West Java, Indonesia. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the factor structure, while omega coefficients were adopted to assess internal consistency. Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) method was applied to detect differential item functioning (DIF) between mothers and fathers. Results: The four-factor structure was supported with necessary item refinements during the adaptation process. The indicators showed meaningful loadings on the respective constructs. Reliability estimates for all dimensions ranged from adequate to excellent. Comparative analyses indicated that mothers reported higher levels of warmth and hostility than fathers, while permissiveness and harsh control were relatively comparable. DIF analyses identified several items in the warmth dimension that functioned differently across parental status, showing potential measurement bias in raw score comparisons. Discussion: Indonesian version of JPSS showed promising psychometric properties for assessing parenting styles. However, mother-father comparisons were interpreted with caution due to item-level measurement nonequivalence. Future research could include more diverse samples, formally test measurement invariance, and incorporate qualitative methods to strengthen validity evidence.
