La investigación se desarrolló en la línea de didáctica y pedagogía, con el objetivo de determinar la relación existente entre el compromiso académico, el cansancio emocional y la autoeficacia académica en estudiantes de psicología de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Se empleó una metodología con enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance correlacional y con un diseño no experimental de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 420 estudiantes universitarios. Se utilizó el análisis de redes como una técnica novedosa para determinar las relaciones parciales entre las variables. Los resultados indicaron la existencia de una relación positiva entre vigor y autoeficacia, así como entre dedicación y autoeficacia, con coeficientes de correlación de 0.25 y 0.23, respectivamente. Asimismo, la relación entre cansancio emocional y autoeficacia presentó una correla...

In recent years, couples have been affected by health measures related to COVID-19, a circumstance that forces us to examine couple interactions in terms of crucial variables of their functioning. In this sense, the present study aimed to examine the association between love, jealousy, satisfaction, and violence in young couples through network analysis. A total of 834 young people and adults between 18 and 38 years of age (Mean = 20.97, SD = 2.39) participated; 646 women (77.50%) and 188 men (22.50%), who completed the Sternberg’s love scale (STLS-R), Brief Jealousy Scale (BJS), Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) and Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST-2). A partial unregularized network was estimated using the ggmModSelect function. The Bridge Strength index was calculated because the aim was to identify the bridge nodes between the variables under study. The results reveal that two no...

This study aimed to validate a short relationship satisfaction scale (RAS) in a sample of young people and adults in the Lima metropolitan area. There were a total of 806 participants aged between 18 and 30 years: 622 females (77.20%) and 184 males (22.80%). Every participant was currently in a love relationship of a minimum of three months. The methodologies of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Item Response Theory (IRT) were combined to determine the structure and assess the reliability of the instrument. The Omega coefficient (ω) was used from CFA, while the test information function and empirical reliability (rxx) were used from IRT. The results showed that the RAS could be interpreted as a one-dimensional scale when eliminating the items 4–7 and joining the items 1–2. This model shows high goodness of fit from a CFA-perspective. A similar situation occurs in IRT, except th...

Background: The study explores the associations among Relationship Maintenance, Satisfaction, Jealousy, and Violence in young Peruvian couples, particularly in a post-pandemic context, using a network analysis. Methods: Eight hundred thirty-two participants aged 18–30 (M = 20.94, SD = 2.29), with 645 females (77.50%) and 187 males (22.50%), were involved. The study aimed to discern relationships among network nodes, emphasizing the link between Relationship Maintenance dimensions and Jealousy and Violence. The research also sought the central node in the network and examined gender-specific node connections, using the SMOTE algorithm for gender data balance. Results: Findings revealed a direct connection between Complementarity and Jealousy, implying intense shared interests can lead to unhealthy dependence. An inverse relationship was seen between Companionship and Violence. Satisfact...

Relationship maintenance has shifted from understudied to extensively researched in the past two decades due to its close association with satisfaction. This study aimed to validate the Relationship Maintenance Scale (EMP) in a sample of young adults in Lima. The sample included 899 participants aged 18–25 (Mean = 20.67, SD = 2.54); 690 females (76.80%) and 209 males (23.20%), all in relationships of at least three months (Mean = 22.05, SD = 19.95). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to determine the EMP’s structure, with Omega coefficient (ω) estimating reliability. Results indicated a four-factor structure for EMP, removing items 8, 9, 12, and 14, demonstrating good fit (SRMR =.043; CFI =.977; TLI =.971; RMSEA =.058). EMP showed acceptable reliability across factors: Companionship (ω =.78), Affectivity (ω =.83), Complementarity (ω...

Problem-solving is becoming more and more seen as an important skill for college students to learn to build metacognitive skills, critical thought, and the ability to learn on their own. Even though this skill is very important, there aren’t many approved tools that can be used to test it in schools, especially in Peru. The goal of this study is to fill in that gap by creating and testing a short problem-solving scale based on the Rational Problem-Solving Style, which stresses taking a planned and organized approach to problems. 733 Peruvian college students (mean age: 21.56 years, standard deviation: 4.15 years; 59.89% female) took part. A 15-item Problem-Solving Questionnaire and used experimental (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test it. The scale’s validity and reliability were checked, along with its link to academic self-efficacy. There were four parts to the...

Introduction: Related to psychological well-being and resilience, self-efficacy is a key determinant of academic performance. Objective: To assess the validity and reliability of the Perceived Self-Efficacy for Academic Situations Scale in a Peruvian university sample using psychometric network models. Method: A total of 600 participants took part, with a mean age of 25.49 years (SD = 7.82), 67.3% of whom were women. Dimensionality, structural consistency, and network loadings were evaluated using Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA). In addition, the relationship between academic satisfaction and self-efficacy was examined. Results: The scale showed a unidimensional structure with ideal structural consistency (SC = 1.00). Network loadings ranged from moderate to high (0.26 to 0.39), and invariance between sexes was found. Academic self-efficacy and satisfaction had a moderate correlation (r...

This study investigates emotional involvement in romantic relationships through the Relationship Involvement Scale (RIS), emphasizing its validation and reliability in a Peruvian sample. Interpersonal relationship challenges underline the significance of emotional commitment for well-being. The RIS uniquely assesses this aspect, distinguishing it from love, satisfaction, and maintenance measures. Through meticulous validation involving translation and expert review, and a sample of 300 Peruvian young adults, the research confirms the RIS’s unidimensional structure and reliability. Factorial analysis refines the scale by eliminating low-loading items, while associations with relationship satisfaction validate its construct. Utilizing confirmatory factor analysis, the study highlights the positive link between involvement and satisfaction, suggesting the RIS’s utility in understanding ...

The study aimed to provide validity evidence and reliability of the Scale of Myths of Romantic Love (SMRL) in Peru among young and adult individuals. Focusing on how romantic love myths affect relationship satisfaction and their ties to interpersonal violence, sexism, and gender inequality, the methodology involved 308 participants, mainly females (75%), using the SMRL and Relationship Assessment Scale. Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis (BCFA) assessed the scale's structure and reliability, complemented by descriptive statistics and correlation analyses to examine the myths' impact on intimate relationships. Results showed the SMRL's two-dimensional structure, confirming its robust psychometric properties and satisfactory internal consistency. Descriptive findings revealed a skeptical view of traditional romantic myths among participants, indicating the scale's good reliability and s...
