El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en validar la Escala de Percepción Global de Estrés en una muestra peruana de universitarios de un programa nacional de becas. El proceso de adaptación consideró la doble traducción a partir de la versión original, la comparación lingüística con la adaptación chilena y mexicana, así como la revisión por jueces. Asimismo, se aplicó una prueba piloto. Los participantes fueron 332 becarios universitarios. Los resultados del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio confirmaron el modelo bifactorial de la EPGE-13. Asimismo, se obtuvieron evidencias de validez divergente y convergente utilizando el SPANAS. La confiabilidad estimada de los puntajes generados por el instrumento fueron α=.79 para el factor de eustrés y α= .77 para el factor de distrés. Los resultados demográficos indicaron mayor presencia de estrés percibido en mujeres que e...

The aim of this paper consisted on adapt the Global Perceived Stress Scale on a Peruvian population of college students of the program Beca 18, by the report of psychometric properties. First, the scale was reviewed by judges, secondly, a linguistic comparison was made by using the scales adapted in Chile and Mexico, and in third place a double translation with the original version, was done. A pilot test was realized and finally the scale was applied to a total of 332 college students. By a principal component analysis, two factors were found and the item 12 was taken out. The bifactorial model of the EPGE-13 was confirmed doing an CFA. Using the SPANAS, convergent and divergent validity evidences, were obtained. Likewise, the scale demonstrate adequate reliability (internal consistency, α = .79 for the factor of eustress and α =.77 for the factor of distress). Demographic results ind...

The present study aims to validate the Global Perceived Stress Scale on a Peruvian college students sample, involving young scholars of a state-funded program. The adaptation process involved a double translation from the original version, a linguistic comparison using the scales adapted in Chile and Mexico, and judgement criteria, as well as a pilot test. Participants were 332 college scholarship students. Results with the Confirmed Factorial Analysis confirmed the bifactorial model of the EPGE-13. Moreover, convergent and divergent validity was done with the SPANAS test. Likewise, the scale demonstrate adequate reliability (internal consistency, α = .79 for the factor of eustress and α = .77 for the factor of distress). Demographic results indicated that there was more perceived stress in women than in men. There were no significant differences in stress according to birthpl...
