Los objetivos del estudio fueron determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Estadística en México. En este estudio instrumental, se analizó una muestra no probabilística de 383 estudiantes de psicología mexicanos que respondieron a dos escalas actitudinales. El modelo bifactor definido por un factor general y tres factores específicos (seguridad, agrado-utilidad y motivación) mostró las mejores propiedades de ajuste a los datos y de validez convergente en sus modelos de medida. La actitud promedio fue neutra y más positiva en hombres que en mujeres. El factor general de actitud hacia la estadística tuvo correlación alta con actitud hacia la investigación. Se concluye el bifactor de tres factores representa mejor la relación entre los ítems que el modelo original de cinco factores correlacionados.

The objectives of the study were to determine the psychometric properties of the Scale of Attitudes towards Statistics in Mexico. In this instrumental study, a non-probabilistic sample of 383 Mexican psychology students who responded to two attitude scales was analyzed. The bifactor model with three specific factors (safety, pleasure-usefulness, and motivation) showed the best properties of fit and convergent validity. The average attitude was neutral and more positive in men than in women. The general factor had a high correlation with attitude towards research. It is concluded that the three-factor bifactor model represents the relationship between the items better than the original five-factor model.
