The scale was tested in a sample of 309 young people between 14 and 24 years old, in México City and Metropolitan Area. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a three-factor structure: kindness, complacency and behavioral adaptation. Particularly kindness (β = .325, p < .001) and behavioral adaptation (β = .245, p < .001) predicted personal efficiency. The scale score has an internal consistency index of .85 (95 % CI = .83- .87).

Se aplicó la escala a una muestra de 309 jóvenes, de entre 14 y 24 años de edad, de la zona metropolitana de la Ciudad de México. Los resultados muestran la estructura factorial integrada por tres factores mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio, referentes a la amabilidad, complacencia y adaptación conductual. Particularmente la amabilidad (β = .325, p <.001) y la adaptación conductual (β = .245, p <.001) son predictores de la eficiencia personal. Las puntuaciones de la escala alcanzan un índice de consistencia interna de .85 (IC95 % = .83 - .87). Se analiza la utilidad de los resultados para la evaluación de la flexibilidad y los rasgos de personalidad en los jóvenes, así como las implicaciones para futuras investigaciones sobre etnopsicología.Universidad de Lima2021-08-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/531110.26439/persona2021.n024(1).5311Persona; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2021); 27-45Persona; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2021); 27-45Persona; v. 24 n. 1 (2021); 27-452309-90621560-613910.26439/persona2021.n024(1)reponame:Revistas - Universidad de Limainstname:Universidad de Limainstacron:ULIMAspahttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/5311/5114https://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/5311/5150https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.ulima.edu.pe:article/53112025-04-04T21:48:11Z
