RESUMEN
OBJETIVO:
Validar la Escala de Victimización entre Adolescentes a través del Teléfono Móvil y de Internet (CYBVIC), analizando sus propiedades psicométricas.MÉTODOS:
Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo en el que participaron dos muestras independientes de adolescentes de ambos sexos, de entre 11 y 19 años. La primera muestra estuvo constituida por 1 934 adolescentes españoles, y la segunda por 1 483 adolescentes mexicanos. Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio de la escala con la primera muestra, y un análisis factorial confirmatorio con la segunda. También se llevaron a cabo análisis multigrupo, análisis de fiabilidad y análisis de las correlaciones de las dimensiones de la escala con diversas variables externas de ajuste psicológico (sintomatología depresiva, estrés percibido, soledad, satisfacción con la vida y victimización tradicional).RESULTADOS:
Se encontraron dos factores, denominados cybmóvil y cybinternet, que en conjunto explicaron 52% de la varianza. Estos factores fueron congruentes con la propuesta teórica original. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró un ajuste adecuado del modelo de dos factores correlacionados. Los datos indicaron la invarianza factorial del cuestionario entre las muestras de España y México. El análisis de fiabilidad confirmó que la escala posee una consistencia interna adecuada. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre las dimensiones cybmóvil y cybinternet con las variables externas con las que se relacionaron. Conclusiones. La escala CYBVIC tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y puede ser utilizada como una medida válida y fiable en nuevas investigaciones, que contribuyan a ampliar el conocimiento sobre este problema mundial creciente de cyberbullying entre adolescentes.ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To validate the adolescent victimization through mobile phone and internet scale (CYBVIC) through analysis of its psychometric properties.METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in which two independent samples of adolescents aged 11-19, both male and female, participated. The first sample was comprised of 1 934 Spanish adolescents, and the second sample, 1 483 Mexican adolescents. An exploratory factor analysis of the scale was done with the first sample and a confirmatory factor analysis with the second. Multigroup and reliability analyses, as well as an analysis of the correlation of the scale's dimensions with various external variables related to psychological adjustment (depressive symptomatology, perceived stress, loneliness, satisfaction with life, and traditional victimization), were also conducted. Results. Two factors, called cybmóvil [cyber mobile] and cybinternet [cyber internet], were found, which together explained 52% of the variance. These factors were consistent with the original hypothesis. The confirmatory factor analysis showed the model's adequate fit to two correlated factors. The data indicated the factorial invariance of the questionnaire between the Spanish and Mexican samples. The reliability analysis confirmed that the scale has sufficient internal consistency. Significant correlations were found between the cybmóvil/cybinternet factors and the external variables with which they were related.CONCLUSIONS:
The CYBVIC scale has adequate psychometric properties and can be used as a valid and reliable measure in new research, which could expand knowledge about the growing international problem of cyberbullying among adolescents.
