Resumen

This article describes the validation of a scale to evaluate the online social support perceived by users of Spanish web resources for parents. It answers the need for a specific instrument that captures the complexity of this new construct. To validate the Online Parental Support Scale, 301 Spanish and Latin American fathers and mothers participated, who were enrolled in the online program 'Positive Parent' ( http://educarenpositivo.es ), their responses to the scale being automatically recorded in a data base at the beginning of their participation. The factor structure was obtained by Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) with oblimin rotation, and the estimation method using the Weighted Least Squares with moving measurement window (WLSMW) for confirmatory purposes. The main results showed an optimal factorization of the construct involving a five-factor model with adequate reliability, dealing with participation in programs or resources to obtain online parental support, exchange tips with other parents and experts in education, perceived parental self-efficacy, positive parenting skills and emotional support. The results suggested that the scale adequately captures the hypothesized dimensions for the construct of online social support to promote positive parenting and shows adequate psychometric properties that make it suitable for use in the field of web resources for parents.
