Digital parenting is defined as parents’ attitudes and practices in regulating their children’s digital media use. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a scale that was developed to measure parents’ digital parenting attitudes. The participants of the study were 355 volunteer parents, whose children aged between 6 and 18 and living in Istanbul. The mean age of the participants was 40.9. Additionally, 34 volunteers participated in test-retest reliability analysis that was repeated in three weeks period. The results of explanatory factor analysis revealed a two-dimensional structure that explained the 46.109 % of the total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis results demonstrated an acceptable fit of the model (χ2/sd= 3,305, GFI= .92, AGFI=.89, CFI=.87, RMSEA=.08 ve RMR=.05). Internal consistency coefficients of the scale were between .724 and .776 and split-half reliability coefficients were between .631 and 764. The test-retest analysis revealed reliability of the measure in time. According to these results, Digital Parenting Attitude Scale was assumed to be a valid and reliable measure for assessing parents’ attitudes in regulating their children’s use of digital media devices.
