The factor analysis reveals that the EESpresents a one-dimensional structure (a factor that explains 43.361% of the total variance) andthere was a significant and positive correlation between anxiety and depression and a significantand negative correlation with Academic Self-Efficacy. Furthermore, regarding reliability, the ordinalalpha is adequate (.853). To conclude, the EAPESA has suitable psychometric properties to continuevalidation studies, which reaffirms its use as an instrument to evaluate emotional exhaustion.
