To obtain reliability, Cronbach's alpha, Tansif, and Gotmann was used and for the validity of the Pearson correlation coefficients between short- and long-form meta-parenting questionnaires was used and also for softening scores to Z scores and the scores of T converted.  Finally, data were analyzed using SPSS 23 software.
Results: KMO test become equal to 0.88 and at optimal levels and Bartlett test of sphericity was statistically significant. There are four factors in factor analysis confirmed 63.38% of the total variance explained scale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the results of exploratory factor analysis and model fitting was obtained with research data.
