This study examines maternal confidence in at-risk and not-at-risk mothers and the psychometric properties of the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale (KPCS). Results: The total sample consisted of 695 mothers (488 not-at-risk and 207 at-risk) from a community setting. Cronbach{\textquoteright}s alpha ranged from 0.72 to 0.79, and item-rest correlations ranged from 0.17 to 0.57.

The differences between the two risk groups were significant at both times. Conclusion: The KPCS has acceptable internal consistency, but an overall ceiling effect, with many items characterized by low discrimination. Despite a significant difference in maternal confidence between at-risk and not-at-risk mothers at both two and six months, the total score did not predict risk status very well in this sample.
