The study had the objective of analyzing the psychometric properties of the Brief Academic Procrastination Scale (EBPA-16). The sample was non-probabilistic and intentional, represented by 478 university students (59.8% women and 40.2% men) from Lima Sur, aged between 18 and 33 years. The study was of the instrumental type, where the EBPA-16 was constructed and applied, made up of 16 items distributed in two dimensions, with a Lickert-type response scale with 5 response options. The results demonstrated the presence of content validity due to Aiken’s V values greater than .80. Homogeneity indices were found in the items (ritc >.20) and multicollinearity was rejected (ritc <.95). For the analysis of the validity based on the internal structure, the existence of a two-dimensional model was demonstrated by means of the AFE with a Pearson correlation matrix and a dimensionality...

Since the beginning of 2020, different countries have been adopting confinement and protection measures against the infection caused by Sars-Cov-2, which represented a challenge for health professionals, in the case of psychology, the therapies provided in face-to-face modality were interrupted, becoming carried out online. Three years after these events, it is worth reflecting on what the use of telepsychotherapy implied as a modality supported by evidence under certain criteria to promote its therapeutic effects. Based on this, we begin to reflect on what the covid-19 context implied in psychology, more specifically in the clinical area, generating greater notoriety of psychological/psychiatric disorders in the general population. From this, it is convenient to approach telepsychotherapy in two blocks, the first referring to the growing evidence on the therapeutic effectsachieved, whic...

 The purpose of this paper is to build and review the psychometric properties of the Brief Work Climate Scale (EBCL), therefore, an instrument comprised of 15 items in its initial version was designed, which had a Likert-type response scale with 5 alternatives, of which only 13 items had content-based validity evidence due to an Aiken’s V greater than .80, with probability of statistical significance (p < .05). The final version was applied to two sample groups (n1 = 121; n2 = 126) of employees at the operational level of two companies related to the grocery sales sector in Metropolitan Lima. In the first sample, the exploratory factorial analysis was reviewed with a Pearson correlation matrix, demonstrating the existence of two well-defined models (two oblique factor model and one-dimensional model), the first factor explained 55.4% of the accumulated variance and the second 4...

The professional in psychology that develops in applied areas, must resort to the currents of knowledge that are within what we call psychology, all this to enhance the scope of their objectives, which in clinical practice, are called as Therapeutics The purpose of the present work is to develop a review of the clinical approach in users with behavioral-cognitive therapy. It is considered the absence of a body of unified knowledge and is encouraged not to be content with only one contribution, but complement it with others, as if it were to complete a puzzle (metaphorically). It emphasizes the need for knowledge about learning theories, proposals for the formulation of the case and review of studies on empirical support of different therapeutic strategies. It is concluded that both behavioral and cognitive strategies allow us to have not only a series of procedures, but reference framewo...

El profesional en psicología que se desenvuelve en ámbitos aplicados, debe de recurrir a las corrientes de conocimientos que se encuentran dentro de aquello a lo que denominamos psicología, todo esto para potenciar el alcance de sus objetivos en la práctica clínica, los cuales son denominados como terapéuticos.El presente trabajo tiene como propósito desarrollar una revisión sobre el abordaje clínico en usuarios con terapia conductual-cognitiva. Se considera la ausencia de un cuerpo de conocimiento unificado y se incentiva a no contentarse con solo un aporte, sino complementarlo con otros, como si se tratara de completar un rompecabezas (metafóricamente). Se enfatiza en la necesidad de conocimiento sobre teorías del aprendizaje, propuestas de formulación del caso y revisión de estudios sobre el apoyo empírico dediferentes estrategias terapéuticas. Se concluye que tanto las...

Se estableció la relación entre procrastinación, creencias irracionales académicas, ansiedad, miedo y rumiación en estudiantes de una universidad privada de Villa El Salvador, con una metodología de tipo correlacional con un diseño no experimental-trasversal. La muestra fue 338 estudiantes de la carrera de administración de empresa. Se aplicó la Escala de procrastinación académica PA, la Escala de creencias irracionales académicas CIE, el Inventario de ansiedad BAI, la Escala de miedo a la evaluación negativa versión breve BFNE y la Escala de rumiación relacionada a un evento ERRI. Se identificó que a nivel de la procrastinación académica el 45.9% fue bajo, no se encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo, edad y ciclo; a nivel de las creencias irracionales el 36.7% es bajo, se encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas en fu...

Objective: Objective: To establish a preliminary psychometric analysis of a brief hospital anxiety scale. Method: Non-experimental study of instrumental design, with a unit of analysis of 60 participants, who were nurses and physicians from a hospital in Metropolitan Lima. Main results: The final version was reduced to 9 items, obtaining adequate evidence of content validity by the criterion of expert judges (V > .80). The evidence of construct validity showed a unidimensional model that explains 72.5% of the variance, with factor loadings greater than .30 (.773 to .939). The reliability found was for internal consistency with acceptable values (α=.958; ω=.959; θ=.957). General conclusion: The EAH-9 constitutes a preliminary alternative with evidence of validity and reliability for the analysis of anxiety in hospital professionals.

El objetivo del estudio fue realizar un análisis psicométrico del Inventario de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI) traducido por Vizioli y Pagano (2020) en 478 universitarios peruanos de Lima Sur, con edades de 17 a 33 años (M = 24.1; DE= 5.24). En los resultados se obtiene que el modelo bifactor presenta mejor ajuste (X2/ gl = 1.54, CFI = .975, NNFI = .968, RMSEA = .048, SRMR = .058) en comparación al modelo de dos factores. Se concluye que el mejor modelo factorial es el bifactor, asumiendo tanto una ansiedad general como dos factores: cognitivo y somático, considerándose como una evidencia sobre la que hay que continuar desarrollando investigación.
