En esta investigación psicométrica se analiza la estructura interna y la confiabilidad de la Escala de Timidez revisada de Cheek y Buss (1981), en un amuestra de 104 estudiantes universitarios de la carrea de Psicología de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Arequipa, de los cuales el 74% fueron mujeres y el 26% varones con una edad media de 19 años. Se trata de un estudio preliminar y exploratorio que sigue los criterios de la teoría clásica de los tests y la teoría factorial. Los resultados indican que la prueba tiene una estructura de dos factores que explica el 70.5% de la varianza total. Los factores encontrados mediante AFE verifican la estructura interna reportada por Caycho et al. (2013), con óptimos índices de confiabilidad mediante la prueba Alfa de Cronbach (α= .805; α= .914), pero se tuvo que eliminar el ítem 7 debido a que saturaba en ambos factores.

In the present study it was analyzed the psychometric properties of the State Metacognitive Inventory (O’Neil & Abedi, 1996) in a sample of elementary school Colombian students, with the aim of facilitate its application in the educational context of Colombia. This is an instrumental study and associative kind. A sample of 220 students was intentionally selected from an educative institution from Barranquilla, 50.5% were women with an average age of 10 years old. It was applied the Vallejos et al.’s (2012) version of the instrument that has a three factor structure: self-knowledge, self-regulation and monitoring. Fort the validity estimation it was applied the confirmatory factor analysis, and for the calculation of reliability, McDonald’s Omega Test was used. The results verified the three factors structure, although only the dimension of self-knowledge obtained adequate relia...

The present study aimed to evaluate the measurement invariance of the Obsession with COVID-19 Scale (OCS) among seven Latin American countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Although the OCS has been used in several countries and languages, there is a need for approaches that better integrate the cross-cultural equivalence of the scale. A total of 3185 people participated in the study. The results indicated the presence of a unidimensional structure and good reliability indices for the OCS in each country. The alignment method indicated that the OCS is an invariant measure of COVID-19 obsession among the populations of seven Latin American countries. The findings based on IRT analysis indicated that all OCS items had adequate discrimination and difficulty parameters. The findings contribute to the understanding of the internal structure of the scal...
