MIPPE: Psychometric Validation Scores for Early Parent-Child Interactions

228 parent-child interaction videos from 123 dyads at 4 and 24 months were analyzed to validate the MIPPE assessment scale. The scale was developed by Emmanuelle Dufait within the PERL program in Eastern France and includes 9 items scored from 0 to 3. Validation results show high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.92) and a unidimensional factor structure explaining 66% of the variance.

Use Cases

• Calculate clinical thresholds for screening based on established scores of 15 and 20.
• Assess the dyadic dimension of parent-child interactions based on the 9-item scale.
• Validate psychometric properties of a clinical tool based on Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω scores.
• Compare intervention and control groups based on data from 62 and 61 dyads.

Strengths

• Psychometric validation includes Cronbach’s α of 0.92 and McDonald’s ω of 0.93.
• Dataset includes 228 videos from 123 parent-child dyads.
• Clinical thresholds (15 and 20) have been established with an optimal sensitivity of 87%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Geographic coverage is limited to Eastern France.
