ABSTRACT

Dealing with difficult social relationships can interfere with coexistence and cooperation, affecting relationships between university students. The present study aims to test a version and at conducting a confirmatory analysis of the Coping Scale for Difficult Socio-Academic Situations and the testing a short version of this scale. The sample consisted of 601 university students from different periods and courses, aged between 18 and 57 years (M = 26.2 years; SD = 7.2), most of them female (66.1%). All participants responded to the Coping Scale for Difficult Socio-Academic Situations on the spot. For confirmatory factor analysis we used the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation method. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a three-dimensional structure (10 items): Focus powerful others; Focus on the problem and Focus on emotion. The discussion addresses the relevance of a reduced scale and also discusses the structure, in view of its contribution to facing the different obstacles of academic life. Future studies may relate coping to other phenomena in the university context and to sociodemographic data.


Lidar com relações sociais difíceis pode interferir na coexistência e cooperação, afetando as relações entre universitários. O presente estudo teve como objetivo testar uma versão reduzida e realizar uma análise confirmatória da Escala de Coping para Situações Sócio-Acadêmicas Difíceis. A amostra foi composta por 601 estudantes universitários de diferentes períodos e cursos, com idades entre 18 e 57 anos (M=26,2 anos; DP=7,2), a maioria mulheres (66,1%). Os participantes responderam à referida escala no local. Para a análise fatorial confirmatória, usamos o método de estimativa Maximum Likelihood (ML) e os resultados indiccaram uma estrutura tridimensional (10 itens): Foco em outros poderosos; foco no problema e foco na emoção. A discussão aborda a relevância de uma escala reduzida e também debate a estrutura, tendo em vista sua contribuição para o enfrentamento dos distintos obstáculos da vida acadêmica. Estudos futuros poderão relacionar o enfrentamento a outros fenômenos no contexto universitário e a dados sociodemográficos.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: analizar la validez de la estructura factorial para un cuestionario adaptado a partir del Preschooler Feeding Questionnaire (PFQ) con subescalas asociadas al control y la presión parental al comer. Metodología: se elaboró un cuestionario de 11 reactivos expresados con escalas tipo Likert y agrupados en dos subescalas: Presión Maternal al Comer y Control Maternal al Comer. Se evaluaron 50 madres y posteriormente se realizó un análisis factorial para identificar la estructura factorial subyacente, mediante la evaluación de la confiabilidad con el α de Cronbach, la extracción de componentes principales con una rotación Varimax y la normalización de Kaiser. Luego, se efectuó un análisis confirmatorio de factores con 430 madres. Por medio de la estadística descriptiva se estudiaron las prácticas parentales de «control» y «presión», mientras un modelo SEM valoró la existencia de relaciones causales entre el IMC, el género infantil y dichas prácticas. Resultados: se validó una estructura factorial de dos escalas, Control y Presión, compuestas cada una de tres reactivos (x2 = 187,3, df. = 116, x2/df. = 1,62, CFI = 0,998, GFI = 0,991, AGFI = 0,983, NFI = 0,994, IFI = 0,998, and RMSEA = 0,018). No se estableció relación causal alguna entre estos factores con el IMC o el género de los infantes, siendo ambos factores mayores a la media. Conclusión: la adaptación del formulario constituye una herramienta válida y fiable de futura utilidad en el estudio de prácticas nutricionales parentales.


Abstract Objective: to analyze the validity of the factorial structure for a questionnaire adapted from the Preschooler Feeding Questionnaire (PFQ) with subscales associated with control and parental pressure when eating. Methodology: a questionnaire was prepared with 11 items expressed with "Likert" type scales and grouped into two subscales: "maternal pressure when eating" and "maternal control when eating". This was evaluated with 50 mothers, subsequently carrying out a factor analysis to identify the underlying factorial structure, evaluating the reliability with Cronbachs α and using a principal components extraction with a Varimax rotation and Kaiser normalization. A confirmatory factor analysis was subsequently performed with 430 mothers. Descriptive statistics studied both "control" and "pressure" parental practices, while an SEM model assessed the existence of causal relationships between BMI, child gender and these practices. Results: a factorial structure of two scales was validated, "Control" and "Pressure", each composed of three items (x2 = 187.3, df. = 116, x2 / df. = 1.62, CFI = 0.998, GFI = 0.991, AGFI = 0.983, NFI = 0.994, IFI = 0.998, and RMSEA = 0.018). No causal relationship was established between these factors with the BMI or the gender of the infants, both factors being greater than the average. Conclusion: The adaptation of the questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool of future utility in the study of parental nutritional practices.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio de la Escala de Bienestar y Autonomía específica para adultos mayores en dos muestras mexicanas, lo que permitió determinar la validez del constructo medido. Se utilizó un diseño cuantitativo, transversal con alcances explicativos. Se analizó una muestra incidental de 895 adultos mayores, de los cuales 59.8 % eran habitantes de la ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila, México y 40.2 % de Tizimín, Yucatán, México. Se utilizó la Escala de Autoevaluación Breve de Bienestar y Autonomía para Adultos Mayores. Se procesó el Análisis Factorial Exploratorio, Paralelo y Confirmatorio con el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Generalizados, además de obtener la confiabilidad y los estadísticos descriptivos de las dimensiones. La estructura que se identificó presentó indicadores de ajuste estadístico adecuado. Originalmente, la estructura consideraba dos dimensiones: la autonomía y el bienestar, sin embargo, los resultados mostraron la separación en tres dimensiones de la medición de bienestar.


Abstract The objective of this work was to carry out a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis of the Scale of Wellbeing and Specific Autonomy for Older Adults in two Mexican samples, which allowed to establish the validity of the measured construct. A quantitative, transversal design with explanatory scopes was used. An incidental sample of 895 aging adults was obtained, from which 59.8% were inhabitants of the Saltillo city, Coahuila, Mexico, and 40.2%, of Tizimín city, Yucatán, Mexico. We used the Short SelfAssessment of Wellbeing and Autonomy for Older Adults. The Exploratory, Parallel and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was processed with the Generalized Least Squares Method, in addition to obtaining the reliability and descriptive statistics of dimensions. The identified structure showed adequate statistical adjustment indicators. Initially, the structure considered two dimensions: autonomy and wellbeing; however, the results showed the separation in three dimensions of the wellbeing measurement.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en explorar las propiedades psicométricas de una adaptación al castellano del Cuestionario de Personalidad Tipo D (DS-14) en una muestra mexicana (n = 702). Se evaluó la escala mediante un enfoque no paramétrico basado en el escalamiento Mokken y se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio por el método de estimación de mínimos cuadrados ponderados con media y varianza ajustada (WLSMV), consistencia interna con coeficiente omega (ω), invarianza de medición por género, y validez convergente con medidas de salud mental (MBI = burnout, GHQ = depresión, trastornos de sueño, disfunción social y síntomas somáticos), parcializando los efectos de estresores laborales (JCQ = demandas y control laboral). Los resultados evidenciaron correlaciones parciales de bajas a moderadas de los ítems DS-14 con los puntajes de salud mental, así como índices de confiabilidad aceptables (ω = .62 - .86). Se halló invarianza de medición entre hombres y mujeres, y la estructura bifactorial original mostró índices de ajuste satisfactorios (CFI = .97, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .05). Adicionalmente, se vislumbró la viabilidad de una estructura unidimensional, en particular para una versión de 9 ítems (CFI = .99, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .04), la cual necesita estudios adicionales de replicabilidad. Se concluye que la escala DS-14 produce puntajes válidos y confiables, y se discuten estos hallazgos y sus implicaciones para la investigación futura.


The goal of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Type D Personality Scale (DS-14) in a sample of Mexican participants (n = 702). The scale was evaluated through a non-parametric approach based on Mokken scaling. Moreover, confirmatory factor analyses were performed using the weighted least squares mean and variance (WLSMV) method, internal consistency estimation with omega coefficient (ω), measurement invariance by gender, and convergent validity with mental health measures (MBI = burnout, GHQ = depression, sleep disorders, social dysfunction, and somatic symptoms), and controlling job stressors (JCQ = job demands and job control). The results showed low to moderate partial correlations in DS-14 items concerning the mental health scores, and acceptable reliability rates (ω = .62 - .86). Measurement invariance between men and women was found, and the original two-factor structure showed satisfactory adjustment indices (CFI = .97, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .05). Furthermore, the viability of a one-dimensional structure, which needs future replicability studies, was glimpsed particularly in the 9-item version (CFI = .99, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .04). It is concluded that the DS-14 scale generates valid and reliable scores, and these findings and implications are discussed for further research.

ABSTRACT

A expectativa de futuro diz respeito a elaboração de planos, aspirações e medos em relação a vários domínios da vida num futuro próximo ou distante; julga-se que os estudos sobre este construto são importantes porque a imagem que se faz do futuro termina por influenciar o comportamento de indivíduos e grupos no presente. No Brasil, essa escala revelou indicadores estatísticos que confrmaram a existência de três fatores: Condições da Sociedade, Sucesso Profssional e Financeiro e Realização Pessoal; porém, alguns limites foram observados neste estudo (como por exemplo, a falta de caminhos estatísticos da teórica clássica (TCT) da psicometria a escores fatoriais insufcientes, os quais prejudicam a associação item-fator). Neste estudo, pretende-se avaliar a consistência da organização fatorial, contemplando a TCT e as estatísticas modernas. Participaram do estudo 500 sujeitos, homens e mulheres, (universitários e da população geral) da cidade de Seropédica ­ RJ e João Pessoa ­ PB, de 18 a 65 anos e responderam à Escala de expectativa de futuro e a dados sócio-demográfcos. Através da TCT, observaram-se indicadores que sugeriram a redução escala, sendo esta, comprovada na análise confrmatória.(AU)


The future expectancy concerns the preparation of plans, aspirations and fears in relation to various aspects of life in the near or distant future; It is believed that studies of this construct are rather relevant in which the image that is made of the future results in influencing both groups and individuals behavior in present. In Brazil, the scale has revealed statistical indicators that confrmed the existence of three factors: Society Conditions, Professional and Financial Success and Personal Fulfllment; however, there were some limits in this study (e.g., from a lack of statistical options of the classical theory ­ TCT, from psychometric studies to insuffcient factor scores, which hinder the association item-factor). This study aims to assess the consistency of the factorial organization contemplating the TCT and modern statistics. The study included 500 subjects, men and women (students and the general population) of the city of Seropédica - RJ and João Pessoa - PB, ages ranging from 18-65 years old and they responded to the Future Expectancy Scale and also to socio-demographic data. Through TCT, there were indicators that suggested the reduction of the scale, which was proven in the confrmatory analysis.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar comparativamente la estructura factorial y la fiabilidad del AUDIT en universitarios, este instrumento evalúa el problema con el alcohol pudiendo ser clasificados como: Patrón de consumo de alcohol, signos y síntomas de la dependencia, y problemas derivados del abuso del alcohol. Al ser ampliamente utilizado en la salud y las ciencias psicológicas, los estudios han observado que diverge de la propuesta original, lo que contradice la existencia de estos tres factores. 438 estudiantes universitarios, hombres y mujeres, de 18-40 años de edad, de la ciudad de João Pessoa-PB contestaron el AUDIT y datos socio-demográficos. A través de diferentes cálculos estadísticos, observamos indicadores psicométricos que aseguraran la coherencia de la estructura factorial y la fiabilidad de este, garantizando así una medida de tres factores en la identificación del problema del consumo de alcohol.


Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar de forma comparativa as estruturas fatoriais do AUDIT em universitários; este instrumento avalia o problema com consumo de álcool, podendo ser categorizado como: Padrão de consumo de álcool, sinais e sintomas de dependência e problemas decorrentes do álcool. Por ser um instrumento muito utilizado nas ciências da saúde e psicológica, tem observado estudos que divergem da proposta original, contradizendo a existência desses três fatores. 438 universitários, homens e mulheres, de 18 a 40 anos, na cidade de João Pessoa-PB responderam o AUDIT e dados sócio-demográficos. Através de diferentes cálculos estatísticos, observaram-se indicadores psicométricos que garantiram a consistência da estrutura fatorial e fidedignidade desta, garantindo assim, uma medida trifatorial sobre a identificação do problema do consumo de álcool.


The aim of this study is evaluate comparatively the factor structure of the AUDIT in under graduate students; this instrument assesses the issue with alcohol consumption that can be categorized as: Alcohol consumption pattern, signs and dependence symptoms and alcohol abuse problems. For being an instrument widely used in the health and psychological sciences, it has been observed studies that diverge from the original proposal, contradicting the existence of these three factors. 438 under graduate students, male and female, form from 18 to 40 years old, in the city of João Pessoa -PB answered the AUDIT plus a socio- demographic data. Through different statistical calculations, it has been observed psychometric indicators that ensured consistency of the factor structure and reliability of the same, thereby ensuring a three-factor measure on the identification of the alcohol consumption issue.
