ABSTRACT
Inï¬delity is a problem that entails psychological and physical consequences in humankind (Buss, 2016; González et al., 2009; Shackelford et al., 2003); thus, indicating the importance of measuring inï¬delity construct. The objective of the study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Multidimensional Inï¬delity Inventory (IMIN) for Colombian samples. For this, the instrument was applied to 674 Colombian participants, 224 men (33.28%) and 449 women (66.71%), with ages between 18 and 81 years (M = 25.11; SD = 10.56), carrying out exploratory factor analysis, conï¬rmatory, and internal consistency for each subscale. In general, in the Motives to inï¬delity scale, three factors were found that explained 66.74% of the total accumulated variance; three factors were found in the Trend to Inï¬delity scale, explaining 65.02% of the total variance; in the sub-scale of Beliefs to inï¬delity, ï¬ve factors were obtained, explaining 58.33% of the accumulated variance; and in the sub-scale of Consequences of inï¬delity, two clearly constituted factors were found, which explain 57.58% of the accumulated variance. All of them had conï¬rmatory models with adequate levels of goodness of ï¬t, adequate Cronbach alpha indicators, item-item, and item-test correlations, in addition to concordance with the original proposal of the instrument.
RESUMEN
La inï¬delidad es un importante constructo a medir, al ser una problemática que conlleva consecuencias psicológicas y físicas (Buss, 2016; González et al., 2009; Shackelford et al., 2003). Se buscó determinar la validez y la conï¬abilidad del Inventario Multidimensional de Inï¬delidad (IMIN) para muestras colombianas. Se aplicó el instrumento a 674 participantes colombianos, 224 hombres (33.28%) y 449 mujeres (66.71%), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 81 años (M = 25.11; DE = 10.56), llevando a cabo análisis factoriales exploratorios, conï¬rmatorios y de consistencia interna para cada subescala. En la escala de Tendencia a la inï¬delidad, se identiï¬caron 3 factores que explicaron el 66.74% de la varianza total acumulada; en la escala de Motivos a la inï¬delidad, se hallaron siete factores, explicando el 65.02% de la varianza total; en la subescala de Creencias a la inï¬delidad, se obtuvieron cinco factores, explicando el 58.33% de la varianza acumulada; y en la subescala de Consecuencias de la inï¬delidad se hallaron dos factores claramente constituidos, que explican el 57.58% de la varianza acumulada. Todos los anteriores tenían modelos conï¬rmatorios con adecuados niveles de bondad de ajuste y adecuados indicadores alfas de Cronbach, correlaciones ítem-ítem e ítem-prueba, además de concordancia con la propuesta original del instrumento.
