Forgiveness is a construct that is being investigated with great interest by psychologists, but this requires having validated instruments. María Casullo’s Capacity to Forgive Assessment Scale (CAPER) is one of the first test crated in Latin America to measure forgiveness. The objective of this study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the CAPER in a sample of 163 people from the city of Arequipa, who were selected using non-probabilistic methods. The results indicate that the internal structure of the test has three factors (Forgiveness to situations, Forgiveness to others, and Forgiveness to oneself) calculated by means of confirmatory factor analysis; but the internal consistency indexes for each of the three dimensions indicate low reliability, with coefficients less than .7, using Cronbach´s Alpha test and McDonald’s Omega test. Therefore, a cautious use of this instr...

En la presente investigación se han analizado las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Evaluación de Hábitos Emprendedores a través de dos estudios con muestras de la ciudad de Arequipa. En el primero, se evaluó a 203 estudiantes universitarios de Administración de Empresas y en el segundo, a 453 personas de la población económicamente activa. En ambos casos, se aplicó el mismo instrumento, pero de forma presencial a los estudiantes y vía Google forms a los trabajadores. Se calculó la validez de constructo mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio y la confiabilidad mediante el método de consistencia interna. Para el caso de la muestra de estudiantes se aplicó solamente la prueba alfa de Cronbach y para la muestra de la PEA se aplicó, además, la prueba Omega de McDonald y se calcularon los percentiles para su calificación. Los resultados de ambos estudios indica...
