The objectives of the research were, firstly, to determine the levels of emotional intelligence, empathy and tolerance to diversity in a sample of 181 students in education; secondly, to establish the relationship between the three study variables and, finally, to determine if there are differences in these variables due to sex, study cycle and religious denominations. The instruments used were the Meta-Mood Scale 24 Trait, the Cognitive and Affective Empathy Test, and a diversity tolerance instrument. The results arrived at indicate that most students have a high level of tolerance for diversity and empathy, and an average level of emotional intelligence. The relationship between scores of emotional intelligence and empathy was confirmed, as well as the scores between empathy and tolerance of diversity, but not between emotional intelligence and tolerance of diversity. Likewise, it was ...

Background: A new instrument was designed to measure attitudes towards intellectual disability in the workplace. This tool provides the opportunity to identify underlying cognitive and emotional patterns that may influence people's interaction and performance in such environments. Objective: To construct, validate, and ensure the reliability of a scale measuring attitudes towards intellectual disability, establishing its suitability in labor inclusion programs. Method: A psychometric design was used that incorporated qualitative techniques, such as focus groups and cognitive interviews, in the instrument construction phase. The content validation of the items involved the participation of 15 experts in the field, which resulted in a reduced version with 10 items distributed in two dimensions: Perception and Social Distance. Subsequently, both the validity of the ...

The instrumental psychometric qualities of the Emotional Impact Profile COVID-19 (García Pérez & Magaz, 2020) are analyzed and established in this instrumental study (Ato, López-García, & Benavente, 2013), in order to use it posteriori in the university student population in relation to the emotional impact generated by the effects of this virus in the Lima population. In a sample of 161 university students (117M; 44V) of an average age of 23 years (RIQ = 3), a virtual Profile form was administered, estimating the validity by analyzing its internal structure using a confirmatory factor analysis (AFC), intercorrelating the items of the five scales of the Profile: anger / resentment, fear, anxiety, stress and depression, with the polychoric coefficient and using the Weighted Least Square Mean and Variance Adjusted (WLSMV) estimator. The resulting indices show an excellent empir...

Background and objective The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is an instrument that measures the severity of anxiety due to COVID-19 or coronaphobia. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults are the most vulnerable age group; therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the CAS in this group. Materials and method 274 Peruvian older adults participated (Mage = 67.86; SD = 6.34, 64.6% women). In addition to the CAS, the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), and 2-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-2) were applied. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess the factor structure of the CAS and Item Response Theory was used to analyze item characteristics. A sequence of hierarchical variance models was used to evaluate the measurement invariance of the CAS according to age. To assess reliability, Cronbach's alpha coeffi...

Los objetivos del estudio fueron representar la preferencia por la matemática y las inteligencias múltiples en escolares peruanos que están culminando el nivel educativo primario y secundario; determinar el impacto del sexo y del nivel socioeconómico sobre la preferencia por la matemática y las inteligencias múltiples; y, establecer las diferencias en las inteligencias múltiples entre los estudiantes que prefieren más y prefieren menos la matemática. Participaron 2309 estudiantes de 43 instituciones educativas peruanas, 1174 estudiantes del sexto de primaria y 1035 estudiantes del quinto de secundaria. Los resultados indicaron que, en el tránsito de la primaria a la secundaria, decrece el interés por la matemática. Además, la inteligencia altamente representada en sexto de primaria fue la cenestésica y en quinto de secundaria, la intrapersonal. Por otro lado, el sexo y el n...

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Es común utilizar medidas que no evalúan directamente el impacto de la ansiedad en la salud de las personas con VIH. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar las evidencias de validez y fiabilidad de la versión en español de la Health-Related Anxiety Scale (HRAS). Materiales y Métodos: Participaron 100 pacientes diagnosticados con VIH, seleccionados por un muestreo por conveniencia (76.5% hombres y 24.4% mujeres; Media de edad = 39.96 años, DE = 13.19). La estructura factorial de la HRAS se evaluó a partir del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC). Asimismo, las relaciones a nivel latente de la HRAS con la satisfacción con la vida, ansiedad generalizada y depresión se evaluaron mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. La fiabilidad se evaluó con el coeficiente omega de McDonald. Resultados: La estructura unidimensional de la HRAS ajustó adecuadame...

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), using Item Response Theory (IRT) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The participants were 790 Peruvians, selected through a convenience sampling, where the majority were women. The CFA models indicated that the one-dimensional structure better represents the data, is reliable and invariant between men and women. Likewise, IRT findings indicate that CAS is more informative for high levels of COVID-19 anxiety. The CAS in Spanish has adequate psychometric properties to be used as a short measure of COVID-19 anxiety.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric evidence of the original and short versions of the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (SCSRFQ) in Spanish in a sample of 245 Peruvian adolescents and adults (mean age = 21.04 years, SD = 3.07, 47.8% male and 52.2% female), selected by nonprobabilistic convenience sampling. Additionally, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were applied. Confirmatory Factor Analysis, internal consistency reliability methods, hierarchical sequence of variance models, and a graded response model were used. Results indicate that both versions of the SCSRFQ showed robust psychometric properties: adequate unidimensional structure, adequate difficulty and discrimination parameters, and significant relationships with the measures of fear of COVID-19 and satisfaction with life. The original version of...

Accepted: 19 Oct. 2021 Introduction: In recent years, greater attention has been paid to research on sexual satisfaction because of its association with general well-being and increased interest in sexual and public health issues. Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Sex Life Scale (SWSLS). Methods: 2,154 Portuguese individuals (M = 34.67 years, SD = 17.18) participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and item response theory (IRT) were used. Specifically, the internal structure, reliability and factor invariance of the SWSLS were evaluated by sex and age, as well as the characteristics and performance of the items based on the IRT analysis. Results: The SWSLS Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed that a one-dimensional model fit the data well, both for the total sample and for each sex and age group. Furthermor...

Loneliness is a public health problem. Its assessment is important to identify older adults who experience greater loneliness and appropriate interventions can be carried out. The De Jong Gierveld Solitude Scale (DJGLS) is one of the most widely used, at least in the European context, to measure loneliness. Although the Spanish version of the DJGLS has shown reliability and validity in Spanish samples of older adults, there is no evidence of adequacy in the Latin American context. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the DJGLS in Peruvian older adults. Specifically, factorial validity, internal consistency and criterion-related validity were studied, based on a double analytical perspective: Classical Test Theory (SEM models) and Item Response Theory. The participants were 235 Peruvian older adults with ages ranging from 61 to 91 years old (Mean = 72.69, ...
