ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La imagen corporal varía a lo largo de la vida. Los cambios físicos que conlleva la adolescencia, pueden influir en el desarrollo de conductas de riesgo para trastornos alimentarios. Aunque los factores sociales y culturales afectan la imagen corporal, las formas de interacción modernas, mediante el uso de tecnología, en particular las redes sociales, permiten controlar la autopresentación de la imagen corporal en las fotografías que son publicadas, lo que podría servir como indicador de conductas de riesgo alimentarias. El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer la asociación de conductas alimentarias de riesgo con el control de la imagen corporal en fotografías, para analizar su invarianza factorial por sexo y proponer puntos de corte en población mexicana. La muestra estuvo conformada por 1 155 adolescentes (51.3 % hombres y 48.7 % mujeres), con una media de edad de 15.18 años. Se utilizó el cuestionario en español sobre el control de la imagen corporal en fotografías denominado BICP-S, además del cuestionario de conductas alimentarias de riesgo (CAR). Los resultados evidenciaron una relación entre las conductas alimentarias de riesgo y el control de la imagen en fotografías. La estructura factorial del BICP-S varía en función del sexo, por lo que se proponen diferentes puntos de corte del cuestionario, en donde aquellas ubicadas en el percentil 85 indican riesgo acerca de las preocupaciones por la imagen corporal en mujeres, mientras que en hombres se establece en el percentil 92, con una alta confiabilidad en el control de la imagen en ambos sexos (α > 0.90). El cuestionario tiene utilidad clínica para la detección de jóvenes con serias preocupaciones en torno a la imagen corporal que, de continuar, pueden constituirse en un factor de riesgo para trastornos de la conducta alimentaria.


ABSTRACT Body varies throughout life. Physical changes that take place during teenage years may influence the development of risky behaviors related to eating disorders. Although social and cultural factors affect body image, modern forms of interaction with technology, particularly social networks, allow controlling the self-presentation of body image in the photographs that are published, which could serve as an indicator of risky eating behaviors. The aim of this study was to establish the association of risky eating behaviors with the body image control in photographies, to analyze the factorial invariance by sex and to propose cut-off points in the Mexican population. The sample consisted of 1 155 adolescents (51.3 % males and 48.7 % females), with a mean age of 15.18 years. The BICP-S was used, in addition to the risky eating behaviors questionnaire (CAR). The results showed a relationship between risky eating behaviors and image control in photographs. The factorial structure of the BICP-S varies according to sex, so different cut-off points of the questionnaire are proposed, where those located at the 85th percentile indicate risk about body image concerns in women, while in men it is established at the 92nd percentile, with a high reliability in image control in both groups (α > 0.90). It is concluded that the questionnaire has clinical utility for the detection of at-risk youth who may have serious body image concerns, which if continued can be a risk factor for eating disorders.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Desde el surgimiento de la psicología cognitiva, las cogniciones han tomado gran relevancia para explicar una gran variedad de fenómenos psicológicos. Un constructo que ha sido empleado en el ámbito clínico y forense es el de las distorsiones cognitivas que tiene poder predictivo sobre la conducta violenta. Las distorsiones cognitivas se definen como cogniciones irracionales y negativas: pensamiento egocéntrico, culpar a los demás, minimización y asumir lo peor. Para evaluar las distorsiones cognitivas se ha empleado el cuestionario How I Think ("Cómo pienso"), que ha sido validado para población hispanoparlante, pero no contaba con una versión validada en Perú. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las propiedades psicométricas de una prueba que evalúa las distorsiones cognitivas en una muestra de adolescentes de la ciudad de Arequipa, Perú. Se evaluó a 2803 estudiantes nivel secundario (48.9 % mujeres y 51.1 % varones) entre 13 y 19 años, a través del cuestionario How I Think de Barriga y Gibbs (1996). El procesamiento psicométrico implicó el análisis de la validez por medio del análisis factorial confirmatorio, la confiabilidad por el método de consistencia interna y la invarianza factorial según el sexo. Los resultados psicométricos indican que la prueba tiene validez de constructo con tres factores: culpar a los demás/asumir lo peor, la minimización y el egocentrismo. También tiene índices de confiabilidad adecuados y no presenta sesgos entre varones o mujeres. Se concluye que el cuestionario How I Think es un instrumento válido y confiable para evaluar a los adolescentes peruanos, aunque presenta variaciones con respecto a su estructura original.


Abstract Since the consolidation of the cognitive psychology and its diffusion around the world, the cognitions have taken a place of great relevance in order to explain a large variety of psychological events and phenomena. Nowadays the cognitive psychology is the dominant paradigm in the wide world of psychology, including obviously the Ibero-american countries. One construct that had been used in the field of clinical and forensic psychology is related to cognitive distortions, which have predictive power over the violent and aggressive behavior in children, adolescents, and adult people (Peña & Andreu, 2012). The cognitive distortions can be defined as a kind of negative and irrational cognitions (Ellis, 1999) that are used to explain or justify the aggressive behavior, and they are also linked to delinquent behavior (Roncero et al., 2016). Cognitive distortions can be classified in two types: self-serving and self-debasing cognitive distortions. In the first case, there are four types of self-serving cognitive distortions: Self-centered, Blaming others, Minimizing/Mislabeling, and Assuming the worst. In the second case, there are also four self-debasing cognitive distortions: Catastrophizing, Overgeneralizing, Personalizing, and Selective abstraction. Both types have great influence in people's beliefs, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors (Barriga et al., 2008). Several instruments have been applied to measure cognitive distortions. Some of them are orientated to measure the self-serving cognitive distortions and some others are orientated to measure the self-debasing type, such as The Cognitive Errors Questionnaire or The Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire. One of the most used tests to assess the self-serving cognitive distortions is the How I Think Questionnaire, that has been validated in Spanish-speaking population such as Spain, with adequate goodness of fit indexes and reliability; but there is not a validated version in Peru (Rojas et al., 2019). The present research pretends to analyze the psychometrical properties of the How I Think Questionnaire, a mental test that measures the cognitive distortions. Following that aim, this instrument was applied in a sample of adolescents from Arequipa (Peru), comprised of 2 803 middle and upper High School students (48.9 % female and 51.1 % male) between 13 and 19 years old. The version used of the How I Think Questionnaire was the one developed and validated by Barriga and Gibbs (1996), which has 54 items with five levels of Likert's scale response. The psychometrical process implies the analysis of validity by confirmatory factor analysis, reliability by the internal consistency method, and factorial invariance according to the sex of the adolescents that participated in the sample. The psychometrical results indicate that the How I Think Questionnaire possesses construct validity with three factors: Blaming others/Assuming the worst (which contains two factors from the original version), Minimizing and Self-Centered. It also has adequate reliability indexes, estimated by McDonald's Omega Test, and there are no trends to male or female scores according to the factorial invariance applied, taking sex as a comparison criterion. It is concluded that the How I Think Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess Peruvian adolescents who live in Arequipa, although it presents some variations compared to its original structure. And the How I Think Questionnaire can be applied in male and female adolescents from Arequipa without the risk of biased scores. However, it is recommendable to perform new psychometric studies that include adolescent's samples from all of Peru to obtain a standardized version for the Peruvian population that could be used in several fields of psychological work. The version presented in this research is a useful instrument to assess cognitive distortions in educational, social, and forensic psychology, by mental health specialists in Arequipa Metropolitan City.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El objetivo de esta investigación fue confirmar la estructura interna de la Environmental Reward Observation Scale (EROS) y recoger evidencias de su relación con otros constructos en una muestra colombiana de 902 adultos que consintieron participar voluntariamente. Método: Se realizaron análisis psicométricos con Teoría Clásica de los Test y el modelo de Rasch. Se recolectaron evidencias de validez de la estructura interna y de la relación de las puntuaciones con otras variables. Resultados: Se obtuvieron buenos índices en los coeficientes alfa y omega de McDonald, nueve de los 10 ítems tuvieron buenos ajustes en los índices infit y outfit, y el ítem ocho presentó DIF en el nivel educativo. Se confirmó la estructura unidimensional de la EROS y fue invariante respecto al sexo y nivel educativo. Los puntajes tuvieron correlaciones de magnitud alta con sintomatología emocional y variables afines a la Activación Conductual. Conclusiones: La EROS presentó altas calidades psicométricas para su uso en población colombiana; sin embargo, se recomienda su uso solo para evaluación de tamizaje, porque los niveles de información están centrados en un área reducida a lo largo de la métrica logit.


Introduction: The aim of this research was to confirm the internal structure of the Environmental Reward Observation Scale (EROS) and to collect evidence of its relationship with other constructs in a Colombian sample of 902 adults who voluntarily consented to participate. Method: Psychometric analyses were performed using Classical Test Theory and the Rasch model. Evidence of validity based on internal structure and relations of scores with other variables was collected. Results: Good indexes were obtained in McDonald's Alpha and Omega coefficients, 9 of the 10 items had good adjustments in the Infit and Outfit indexes, and item 8 presented DIF in the educational level. The unidimensional structure of the EROS was confirmed and was invariant with respect to sex and educational level. Scores had high magnitude correlations with emotional symptomatology and variables related to Behavioral Activation. Conclusions: The EROS presented high psychometric qualities for its use in the Colombian population; however, its use is recommended only for screening assessment because the levels of information are centered in a reduced area along the Logit scaling.

ABSTRACT

Background: Insomnia is the sleep disorder with the highest incidence worldwide. It is estimated that this condition increases the risk of developing psychiatric, neurological, and cardiovascular problems. Due to this, it is important to have brief, reliable and valid psychometric instruments that allow health personnel their timely detection in first level health centers. Objectives: Analyze the psychometric properties of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) in its version adapted to Spanish in a sample of Mexican adults. Methods: The sample consisted of 310 adults, 223 (71.9%) women and 87 (28.1%) men. The comparison of four ISI measurement models of one, two and three factors and a bifactor model was carried out, its internal consistency was analyzed, an analysis of invariance by sex and correlation analysis with the Athens and Epworth scales. Results: The ISI bifactor model with a general factor (G) and a specific factor for insomnia impact (I) showed the best fit indices (χ2= 29.48, gl = 11, SRMR= 0.03, CFI= 0.98, TLI= 0.96, RMSEA= 0.07), and demonstrated configural, metric, and scalar invariance by sex. Adequate reliability was demonstrated by Omega coefficients (General: ωG= 0.86, Impact: ωI= 0.86) showed adequate reliability; the scale showed very strong correlations with the Athens scale (rAGoverall= 0.84; rAImpact=0.75) and weak to moderate correlations with the Epworth scale (rEGeneral= 0.39; rEImpact=0.44). Conclusions: The ISI bifactor version in Spanish presents adequate psychometric properties for the measurement of insomnia and, as it is a brief tool, it can be used at different levels of health care.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: This paper aims to examine the psychometric properties, i.e., validity, reliability, factorial invariance, and latent mean differences based on gender, of the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale, PSPS, in the Ecuadorian context. Method: A sample consisting of 597 Ecuadorian undergraduates participated in the study. Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported a 14-item and three-dimensional model of the scale: Perfectionistic Self-Promotion, Nondisplay of Imperfection, and Nondisclosure of Imperfection. This model presented configural; measurement, i.e., metric, strong, and strict; as well as structural invariance across genders. Discriminant validity was observed by analysing correlations between PSPS factors and perfectionism traits. Males exhibited higher latent means of Perfectionistic Self-Promotion and also Nondisplay of Imperfection than females. Conclusions: The Spanish-translated and brief version of the PSPS represents a reliable and valid tool for assessing perfectionistic self-presentation in Ecuador.


Resumen Introducción: Este artículo tiene como objetivo examinar las propiedades psicométricas, i.e., validez, fiabilidad, invarianza factorial y diferencias de medias latentes en función del género, de la Escala de Autopresentación Perfeccionista, PSPS, en el contexto de Ecuador. Método: La muestra se compuso de 597 universitarios ecuatorianos. Resultados: El análisis factorial confirmatorio apoyó una estructura de la escala compuesta por 14 ítems y tres dimensiones: autopromoción perfeccionista, no-divulgación de la imperfección, y no-verbalización de la imperfección. Este modelo mostró invarianza configural; de medida, métrica, escalar y estricta; y estructural a través del género. El análisis de correlaciones entre los factores de la PSPS y los rasgos perfeccionistas evidenció la validez discriminante de la escala. Los hombres obtuvieron medias latentes significativamente más altas en comparación con las mujeres en los factores autopromoción perfeccionista y no-divulgación de la imperfección. Conclusiones: La versión de la PSPS abreviada y traducida al español representa una medida fiable y válida para evaluar la autopresentación perfeccionista en Ecuador.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Ethical culture stands out as an important variable in comprehending ethical norms and ethical behaviour at work. The Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) Scale is a widely used measure of ethical culture in organisations. This study aimed to adapt and validate the CEV Scale to a Brazilian context. Method: In Study 1 (n = 1.219), the CEV Scale was translated and adapted, the reliability and the internal structure were tested and the discriminant validity of ethical climate measures was demonstrated. In Study 2 (n = 635), measurement invariance in two groups was demonstrated, and there was evidence of validity based on the relationships with related constructs. Results: The results indicated that the Brazilian version of the CEV Scale showed reasonable psychometric properties and provided evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Conclusion: This measure can be used by managers and consultants to diagnose ethical organisational culture.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La Escala de Bienestar Subjetivo (EBS-20) y su versión corta (EBS-8) fueron desarrolladas y validadas para medir en población hispanohablante la satisfacción con la vida y el afecto positivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue obtener evidencias adicionales de validez para la EBS-8. Para ello, se aplicó la escala en tres estudios sucesivos a un total de 2259 mexicanos de 12 a 81 años. Los resultados del primer estudio permitieron confirmar la estructura unifactorial (CMIN/DF = 2.336; CFI = .996; RMSEA = .047) y la adecuada confiabilidad de la escala (a = .958, co = .957); en el segundo se probó su invarianza de medición por sexo, grupo social y edad (A%2 p > .05, ACFI < .004, ARMSEA < .014); y en el tercer estudio se encontró, mediante la calibración de sus reactivos bajo la TRI, que la escala estima satisfactoriamente el constructo evaluado (a > 1.69; P1 entre -2.78 y -2.35). A partir de los índices psicométricos obtenidos, se concluye que la EBS-8 es un excelente instrumento breve construido en español para evaluar el bienestar subjetivo en adolescentes, jóvenes, adultos y adultos mayores.


Abstract The Subjective Well-Being Scale (EBS-20) and its short version (EBS-8) were developed and validated to measure life satisfaction and positive affect in a Spanish-speaking population. The aim of the present study was to obtain additional evidence of validity for the EBS-8. To this end, the scale was applied in three successive studies to a total of 2259 Mexicans aged 12 to 81 years. The results of the first study allowed us to confirm its unifactorial structure (CMIN/DF = 2.336; CFI = .996; RMSEA = .047) and its adequate reliability (a = .958, co = .957); in the second its measurement invariance by sex, social group and age was tested (A%2 p >. 05, ACFI < .004, ARMSEA < .014); and in the third study it was found, by calibrating its items under IRT, that the scale satisfactorily estimates the construct assessed (a > 1.69; b1 between -2.78 and -2.35). From the psychometric indices obtained, it is concluded that the EBS-8 is an excellent brief instrument constructed in Spanish to assess subjective well-being in adolescents, young people, adults and older adults.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale-Second Edition (RCMAS-2) among Peruvian students. The sample consisted of 472 participants aged between 7 and 18 years, of whom 250 were female (53%). Likewise, 191 were enrolled from third to sixth grade of primary school (40.5%), and 281 were registered from first to fifth grade of secondary school (59.5%). The results of the study indicated that the RCMAS-2 scores had adequate levels of reliability for all its dimensions (ordinal alpha > .70). On the other hand, a four-factor structure (Physiological anxiety, Worry/Social anxiety, Defensiveness I, and Defensiveness II) was found to be invariant to gender and schooling level. Also, convergent and discriminant validity evidence was provided. Finally, a moderate difference in Defensiveness II according to the schooling level through the latent mean structure analysis was found. Taking into account the results, it was concluded that the RCMAS-2 scores have evidence of reliability, validity, and equity for its use in Peruvian regular elementary school students.


Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Ansiedad Manifiesta en Niños Revisada, Segunda Edición (CMASR-2), en estudiantes peruanos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 472 participantes con edades entre 7 y 18 años, siendo 250 mujeres (53%). Asimismo, 191 pertenecían del tercero al sexto grado de primaria (40.5%) y 281 cursaban del primero al quinto grado de secundaria (59.5%). Los resultados del estudio indicaron que las puntuaciones en el CMASR-2 presentan adecuados niveles de fiabilidad para todas sus dimensiones (alfa ordinal > .70). Por otro lado, se encontró una estructura de cuatro factores (Ansiedad fisiológica, Inquietud/Ansiedad social, Defensividad I y Defensividad II) que se mantuvo invariante al sexo y nivel de escolaridad. Además, se aportaron evidencias de validez discriminante y convergente. Finalmente, el análisis de medias latentes encontró una diferencia moderada en Defensividad II según el nivel de escolaridad. A partir de los resultados, se concluyó que, las puntuaciones en el CMASR-2 cuentan con evidencias de fiabilidad, validez y equidad para su uso en estudiantes peruanos de educación básica regular.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la invarianza factorial y la fiabilidad con respecto al sexo del Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ) en una muestra de jóvenes ecuatorianos. Se trata de un estudio instrumental de la equivalencia de medida o invarianza factorial del ERQ y de la fiabilidad. Participaron 435 estudiantes de bachillerato (53,8% mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre 14 y 20 (X̅= 16.7; s= 1.4). El modelo de dos factores es confirmado con χ²= 145.4 gl (68); p< .001;χ²/gl= 2.1; GFI= .94; CFI= .91 y RMSEA= .05 [.03 - .06]. Las restricciones al modelo en la equivalencia de medida muestran que este es invariante con respecto al sexo. Además, la fiabilidad muestra que las magnitudes son aceptables con ωSE= .636; ωRC= .762 en hombres y ωSE= .694; ωRC= .742 en mujeres. Se evidencia que el modelo del ERQ es invariante con respecto al sexo y que, a su vez, es fiable. (AU)


This study aimed to determine the factorial invariance by gender and the reliability of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) in a sample of young Ecuadorians. A Measurement Equivalence or factorial invariance Instrumental study of the ERQ and its reliability was performed. Participants were 435 high school students (53.8% female), aged 14 to 20 (X̅= 16.7, s= 1.4). The ERQ's bifactor model was confirmed with χ²= 145.4; df (68); p <.001; χ²/df= 2.1; GFI=.94; CFI=.91 & RMSEA=.05 [.03-.06]. The restrictions to the model in the measure equivalence show that it is invariant regarding gender. In addition, the reliability showed that the magnitudes are acceptable with ωSE= .636; ωRC= .762 in men and ωSE= .694; ωRC= .742 in women. The ERQ model was found to be invariant by gender and reliable. (AU)

Trata-se de um estudo instrumental da equivalência de medida ou invariância fatorial do ERQ e da confiabilidade. Participaram 435 estudantes do ensino médio (53,8% mulheres), com idades entre 14 e 20 anos (X̅ = 16,7; s = 1,4). O modelo de dois fatores do ERQ é confirmado com χ² = 145,4 gl (68); p < 0,001; χ²/gl = 2,1; GFI = 94; CFI = 0,91 e RMSEA = 0,05 [0,03-0,06]. As restrições do modelo na equivalência de mensuração mostram que isso é invariável em relação ao sexo. Além disso, a confiabilidade mostra que as quantidades são aceitáveis com ωSE = 0,636; ωRC = 0,762 em homens e ωSE = 0,694; ωRC = 0,742 em mulheres. É evidente que o modelo ERQ é invariável em relação ao sexo e que, por sua vez, é confiável. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: actualmente, existe un mayor interés por el estudio del bienestar, debido a su importancia en el desarrollo y evaluación de políticas en salud a favor de la población en general. Por lo tanto, se hace necesaria una medición válida y confiable del bienestar. En este contexto, el estudio evaluó las evidencias de validez basadas en la estructura interna, confiabilidad e invarianza factorial por sexo del índice de Bienestar General (WHO-5 WBI). Materiales y métodos: participaron 499 estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Trujillo (Perú) de sexo femenino (n = 271) y masculino (n = 228). Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, confiabilidad por consistencia interna e invarianza factorial por sexo mediante un análisis multigrupo. Resultados: el análisis factorial confirmatorio indicó que el modelo unidimensional de cinco ítems con errores correlacionados de los ítems 1 y 4 presentaba un buen ajuste (X2 = 9.667 [gl = 4]; p > 0.05; X2/gl = 2.416; CFI = 0.994; RMSEA = 0.053 [IC90 % : 0.006-0.097]; SRMR = 0.018). Además, se reportó una confiabilidad aceptable (ω = 0.758) e invariancia factorial por sexo. Conclusión: el WHO-5 WBI demostró evidencia empírica a favor de la validez basada en la estructura interna, confiabilidad de las puntuaciones e invariancia factorial, que permiten contar con un instrumento útil y rápido para la medición del bienestar subjetivo en estudiantes universitarios.


Abstract Introduction: Owing to its importance in the development and evaluation of health policies in favor of the general population, there is currently a greater interest in the study of well-being. Therefore, a valid and reliable measurement of well-being is necessary. In this context, this study evaluated the evidence of validity based on the internal structure, reliability, and factor invariance by sex of the General Well-Being Index (WHO-5 WBI). Materials and Methods: A total of 499 university students (female = 271; male = 228) from the city of Trujillo, Peru, participated in the study. A confirmatory factor analysis, reliability by internal consistency, and factor invariance by sex were performed using a multigroup analysis. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 5-dimensional model with 5 correlated errors of items 1 and 4 presented a good fit (X2 =9.667 [gl = 4], p > 0.05; X2/gl = 2.416; CFI = 0.994; RMSEA = 0.053 [IC90% 0.006-0.097]; SRMR = 0.018). In addition, acceptable reliability (ω = 0.758) and factor invariance by sex were reported. Conclusion: The WHO-5 WBI demonstrated empirical evidence in favor of validity based on internal structure, reliability of scores, and factor invariance that allow for a useful and rapid instrument for measuring subjective well-being in university students.

ABSTRACT

Uno de los modelos teóricos más influyentes en la investigación transcultural es el desarrollado por Geert Hofstede, que originalmente consideraba cuatro dimensiones con las cuales se podía comparar diferentes culturas nacionales. Este modelo se basaba en las atribuciones y percepciones de los sujetos en relación a la cultura donde se desenvolvían, sin ser focalizado su modelo de medida en situaciones específicas como la pertenencia a una determinada organización o las creencias individuales. Dorfman y Howell (1988) elaboran una versión para las escalas de Hofstede para incluir el dominio organizacional en las respuestas, como forma de dar cuenta de la cultura laboral. Estas escalas han sido difundidas y utilizadas ampliamente dentro de la comunidad de investigación transcultural, sin presentarse un análisis en profundidad de la calidad de medida de tales escalas. Este artículo presenta los resultados del análisis de la invarianza factorial de las escalas, considerando las cuatro dimensiones originales de Hofstede, a través del análisis factorial progresivo considerando los tres pasos de restricciones respecto de los resultados.


One of the most influential theoretical models in cross-cultural research was developed by Geert Hofstede, which initially considered four dimensions with which different national cultures could be compared. That model was based on attributions and perceptions of individuals related to the culture where they live without focusing on its measurement model in specific situations, such as belonging to a particular organization or individual beliefs. Dorfman and Howell (1988) developed a version for Hofstede scales to include organizational domain responses to approach for the work culture. These scales have been disseminated and widely used within the research community transcultural without presenting a detailed analysis of such scales' quality of measurement. This article attempts to present the analysis results of the measurement invariance of scales, considering the four original dimensions of Hofstede, through the progressive factor analysis considering three steps of restrictions on the results.

ABSTRACT

La Teoría del Sexismo Ambivalente propone que el sexismo es un constructo multidimensional compuesto por dos tipos de creencias sexistas, unas de carácter hostil y otras de tipo benevolente. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar la estructura factorial del instrumento derivado de esta teoría, su invarianza factorial entre géneros y su relación con la violencia de pareja. Mediante un formulario en internet, 745 participantes de ambos sexos de población general de Argentina, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 45 años, respondieron el Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente (ISA) (Glick & Fiske, 1996). El ISA demostró puntuaciones y una estructura factorial invariantes entre hombres y mujeres. La relación entre las puntuaciones en el ISA y la violencia de pareja varió en función del tipo de violencia considerado (amenazas vs. violencia física) y el género del miembro de la pareja. Las puntuaciones en Sexismo Hostil fueron mayores en las mujeres que ejercieron violencia física comparadas con otras mujeres, pero no en los hombres. También fueron superiores en quienes sufrieron esta conducta, tanto hombres como mujeres. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados a la luz de estudios previos que emplean el ISA, principalmente en población de habla hispana.


The Ambivalent Sexism Theory proposes that sexism is a multidimensional construct composed of two types of sexist beliefs, on the one hand, hostile and, on the other hand, benevolent. The first refers to negative attitudes towards women as weak and inferior to men, and the second refers to the set of sexist attitudes towards women considering them stereotyped and limited to certain roles (i.e. mother, wife, and housewife). The main objective of this study was to analyse the factor structure and factorial invariance by gender of the instrument derived from this theory and its concurrent validity with a measure of intimate partner physical violence. Another objective of the study was to establish comparisons in ISA scores by gender and cross-culturally. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) (Glick & Fiske, 1996) was answered through an online form by 745 participants of both sexes from an Argentinean general population sample aged between 18 and 45 years old. By means of a confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis the data in this sample showed a good adjustment to the ASI structure proposed by its authors, this is a one-dimensional factor (SH) and three subfactors (protective paternalism, complementary gender differentiation and heterosexual intimacy) that make up the second-order factor SB. This factorial structure remained invariant when discriminating between men and women. The correlation between both factors was robust and significant (r = .68) both in the general sample, and differentiating by gender. The reliability of the factors and subfactors was between a moderate and high level (α = .62 to .91). No significant differences were found between men and women in the mean scores of the ASI factors and subfactors. Approximately 1 in 3 subjects reported having perpetrated or suffered intimate partner physical violence. In general terms, those who have perpetrated or have suffered violence had higher scores in SH and SB that those who did not, but this effect was only significant in the case of women. The relationships found between ASI scores and intimate partner physical violence varied by gender and violence directionality (suffered or perpetrated). The ASI scores were lower in countries close to Argentina probably due to a sample mainly composed by young women with a high education level. Our results support the idea that ambivalent sexism is an invariable transcultural construct between men and women, and that the ISA is avalid and reliable measure in the Argentine population. The limitations of results are discussed and the implications are analyses in light of previous studies using the ASI, mainly in Spanish-speaking population.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar el grado de equivalencia psicométrica del Cuestionario para Evaluar Clima Social del Centro Escolar (CECSCE) en adolescentes chilenos y colombianos. Los participantes fueron seleccionados a partir de un muestreo no probabilístico intencionado en 11 establecimientos públicos y particulares subvencionados de Chile y Colombia. Participaron 1233 adolescentes de ambos sexos, con una edad promedio de 14.82 (DT = 1.83). Los resultados obtenidos a partir de los análisis factoriales confirmatorios ratificaron la estructura de 2 factores correlacionados en la muestra chilena con el índice chi-cuadrado de Satorra Bentler(76) = 175.664, p < .001; índice de ajuste comparativo = .956; índice de Tucker-Lewis = .948; error cuadrático medio de aproximación = .044 (IC90% = .035-.052) y en la muestra colombiana con el índice chi-cuadrado de Satorra Bentler (76) = 131.508, p < .001; índice de ajuste comparativo = .942; índice de Tucker-Lewis = .931; error cuadrático medio de aproximación = .037 (IC90% = .026-.047). El análisis de invarianza factorial evidenció que el grado de equivalencia transcultural del instrumento se presenta plausible a nivel de invarianza de configuración (M1 = _ índice chi-cuadrado de Satorra Bentler = 35.583; ∆gl = 12; p < .001; _índice de ajuste comparativo = .007). La escala presentó adecuados índices de fiabilidad por consistencia interna y homogeneidad.


Abstract This study aims to determine the degree of psychometric equivalence of the questionnaire for evaluating School Social Climate in Chilean and Colombian adolescents. Using an intentional non-probability sampling, the adolescents were selected from 11 public schools and subsidised private schools in Chile and Colombia. The study involved 1,233 adolescents of both sexes, with a mean age of 14.82 years (SD = 1.83). The results from confirmatory factor analysis ratified the correlated two-factor structure in the Chilean sample Satorra Bentler's chi-square(76) = 175.664, P < .001; comparative fit index = .956; Tucker-Lewis index = .948; root mean square error of approximation = .044 (90% CI = .035-.052), and in the Colombian sample Satorra Bentler's chi-square(76) = 131.508, P < .001; comparative fit index = .942; Tucker-Lewis index = .931; root mean square error of approximation = .037 (90% CI = .026-.047). Invariance factorial analysis showed that the cross cultural level of the instrument is plausible at invariance configuration level (M1 = _Satorra Bentler's chi-square = 35.583;∆gl = 12; P < .001; _comparative fit index = .007). The resulting scale depicted adequate indices of reliability for internal consistency and homogeneity.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Este estudio tiene por objeto identificar diferencias asociadas a la edad y al sexo en el autoconcepto social medido con el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Social (AUSO), de Fernández-Zabala (2011), que consta de las escalas de responsabilidad social y de competencia social. Participaron en la investigación 767 estudiantes, 318 hombres (41.5 %) y 449 mujeres (58.5 %), de entre 16 y 25 años (M = 19.97; DT = 1.86) divididos en dos grupos de edad (menores de 20 años y mayores de 20). Tras comprobar la invarianza factorial del cuestionario por sexo y edad, se verifican diferencias en la escala de responsabilidad social, y no en la de competencia social, a favor de las mujeres y del grupo de más edad. Estos resultados suponen un avance respecto de anteriores conocimientos sobre el desarrollo del autoconcepto social a la par que refrendan la calidad psicométrica del AUSO.


Abstract The aim of this study is to identify differences associated with age and sex in the social self-concept measured by the Social Self-Concept Questionnaire (AUSO), by Fernández-Zabala (2011), made up for two scales: social responsibility and social competence. In the research participated a total of 767 students, 318 men (41.5 %) and 449 women (58.5 %), between 16 and 25 years (M = 19.97, SD = 1.86) divided into two age groups (under 20 years and older than 20). After checking the factorial invariance of the questionnaire by sex and age, differences in the scale of social responsibility are verified, but not on social competence, in favor of women and older group. These results represent an advance over previous knowledge on the development of social self-concept and at the same time endorse AUSO psychometric quality.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este trabajo fue el estudio de la invarianza factorial del Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnarie (CERQ), entre universitarios limeños (Perú) y cordobeses (Argentina), a fin de realizar una comparación intercultural de las estrategias cognitivas de regulación emocional. Se contó con la participación de 345 estudiantes universitarios limeños (hombres=26.4%; mujeres = 73.6%), y 358 estudiantes universitarios de Córdoba (hombres = 49.7%; mujeres = 49.7%). Se realizó la evaluación progresiva de la invarianza factorial (configural, métrica, fuerte y estricta). Los resultados indican con relación a la invarianza configural que se verifica la estructura de nueve factores oblicuos, aunque un análisis pormenorizado y más restrictivo permite identificar un funcionamiento no-invariante en algunos reactivos e interceptos. Se concluye que las evidencias recabadas no son suficientes para elaborar un modelo explicativo de las diferencias observadas, ante lo cual podría indagarse en un futuro estudio si el uso de estas estrategias se relaciona con especificidades en las ideologías y valores de cada cultura.


The aim of this paper was to study the factorial invariance of Cognitive Emotional Regulation questionnarie (CERQ) among college students from Lima (Peru) and Cordoba (Argentina), to perform a cross-cultural comparison of cognitive emotion regulation strategies. 345 college students from Lima (men = 26.4%; women = 73.6%) and 358 college students from Córdoba (men = 49.7%; women = 49.7%) were examined. Progressive assessment of the factorial invariance (configural, metric, strong and strict) was performed. The results indicate regarding to configural invariance, the structure invariance of nine oblique factors was verified, and although a detailed analysis identifies a non-invariant functioning in some reactive and intercepts. We conclude that the collected evidence is not enough to develop a model to explain the observed differences, whereupon could ask about it in a future study whether the use of these strategies are relate to specific ideologies and values of each culture.

ABSTRACT

Locus of control (LOC) is a variable often studied owing to the important role that it plays in different contexts. Nonetheless, there is no unanimous agreement about how many dimensions make up the factorial structure of the locus of control. The goal of this research was to add new evidence of cross-cultural validity in relation to the bifactorial invariance of the LOC. The test was given to a total of 1781 participants from Spain (697), Chile (890) and The United Kingdom (194). The study of the factorial invariance between the groups was carried out using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis models for ordered-categorical data. The progressive evaluation of factorial invariance confirms that factor loadings, thresholds and error variances are invariant across groups. Relevant cross-cultural differences in LOC between Spain, Chile, and United Kingdom were not found (PS < .50).


El locus de control (LOC) es una variable frecuentemente evaluada debido a que juega un importante papel en diferentes contextos. Sin embargo, no existe un acuerdo unánime sobre cuántas dimensiones componen la estructura factorial del locus de control. El objetivo de esta investigación fue añadir nuevas evidencias de validez transcultural en relación con la invarianza bifactorial del LOC. El test fue aplicado a un total de 1781 participantes procedentes de España (697), Chile (890) y Reino Unido (194). El estudio de la invarianza factorial entre los grupos se realizó utilizando modelos de análisis factorial confirmatorio multigrupo para datos categóricamente ordenados. La evaluación progresiva de la invarianza factorial confirma que las cargas factoriales, los umbrables, y las varianzas de los errores son invariantes a través de los grupos. Finalmente, no se encontraron diferencias transculturales relevantes en LOC entre España, Chile y Reino Unido (PS < .50).

ABSTRACT

La Double Standard Scale (DSS) es uno de los instrumentos más utilizados para evaluar la doble moral sexual y, en ocasiones, para compararla entre sexos. El interés por el estudio de la doble moral sexual radica en que constituye una variable asociada a la salud sexual. A pesar de que hay varios estudios que se han interesado por las propiedades psicométricas de la DSS, ninguno de ellos se ha planteado examinar su equivalencia entre hombres y mujeres, o entre adolescentes y adultos. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es examinar la invarianza factorial y analizar el funcionamiento diferencial del ítem por sexo y edad. Para ello, se evaluó a una muestra de 2.248 sujetos peruanos (1.063 adolescentes -46% jóvenes y 54% jovencitas- y 1.185 adultos -51% varones y 49% mujeres). Los resultados muestran una equivalencia factorial de ajuste perfecto mediante el parcelamiento de ítems respecto al sexo, siendo el funcionamiento diferencial despreciable. En cambio, con respecto a la edad, se descarta la invarianza, aunque el funcionamiento diferencial es depreciable. En definitiva, se podrán contrastar las puntuaciones de la DSS entre sexos, pero no entre adolescentes y adultos.


The Double Standard Scale (DSS) is an instrument used to assess the sexual double standard, and appropriate, to make comparisons between sexes. The interest in the study of the sexual double standard is a variable associated with sexual health. Although, several studies have been interested in the psychometric properties of the DSS, none of them has been raised considering their equivalence between men and women, or between adolescents and adults. This study has the objective, examine the factorial invariance and analyze differential item functioning by sex and age. A sample of 2,248 Peruvian subjects (1.063 adolescent - 46% boys and 54% girls- and 1.185 adult -51% men and 49% women-) was evaluated. Results obtained demonstrate a perfect fit factorial equivalence by categorizing of items about gender, and the differential item functioning is negligible. In contrast, with respect to age, invariance is discarded, but the differential item functioning is negligible. In conclusion, DSS scores can be contrasted between genders, but not between adolescents and adults.
