Propiedades psicométricas del inventario psicológico de ejecución deportiva (IPED) en una muestra de nadadores de Chile / Psychometric properties of the psychological inventory of sports execution (IPED) in a swimmer sample of Chile

RESUMEN

El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario Psicológico de Ejecución Deportiva (IPED) en nadadores federados de Chile. Para ello se evaluaron 99 sujetos de los cuales 41 son damas (41,4%) y 58 son varones (58,6%). Los resultados muestran que las sub-escalas de autoconfianza, control de afrontamiento negativo, control visuo-imaginativo y nivel emocional estaban compuestas por un solo factor que explicaba entre el 37% y 42% de la varianza, en tanto, las sub-escalas de control atencional, control de afrontamiento positivo y control actitudinal estaban compuestas por dos factores que explicaban entre el 57% y 67% de la varianza total. La consistencia interna de cada sub-escala fue aceptable. Los resultados muestran que este inventario es confiable y valido en la muestra utilizada. Son necesarias futuras investigaciones en una muestra más amplia que abarque nadadores de todo el país.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to understand the psychometric properties of the Psychological Inventory of Sports Execution (IPED) in national swimmers of Chile. There were 99 subjects evaluated, of which 41 were ladies (41,4%) and 58 were males (58,6%). The results show that the sub-scales of self-confidence, negative confrontation control, visual-imaginative control and emotional level were composed by an alone factor that was explaining between 37% and 42% of the variance, while, the sub-scales of attentional control, positive confrontation control and attitudinal control were composed by them by two factors they were explaining between 57% and 67% of the total variance. The internal consistency of every sub-scale was acceptable. The results show that this inventory is reliable and valid in the used sample. Future investigations are necessary with a bigger sample that includes swimmers from the entire country.
