RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The acquisition of laparoscopic technique skills in an operating room is conditioned by the expertise of the tutor and the number of training interventions by the trainee. For students and surgeons to use a laparoscopic simulator to train their skills, it must be validated beforehand. METHODS: A laparoscopic simulator box was designed, along with 6 interchangeable training games. The simulator was validated by a group of 19 experts, physicians with an experience from at least 100 laparoscopic surgeries, and 20 students of 4th to 6th grades of medical school (non-experts). To evaluate its construct validity, time-to-completion and the number of successfully completed games were assessed. We used 11 and 9-item questionnaires to gather information on content and face validity respectively. In both questionnaires, answers were collected through Likert-type scales, scored from 1 to 5. RESULTS: The group of experts required less time and successfully completed more games than the group of non-experts (p < 0.01). The group of non-experts gave a score ≥ 4 points on each of the questions regarding the content validity of the tool, however, the experts rated with a significant lower mean score the need for the simulator to learn the surgical technique (3.68 points; p < 0.01). Regarding the face validity, all items were graded with a score ≥ 4 points except for the question relating to the spatial realism (3.82 points). CONCLUSION: The laparoscopy simulation box and the games were valid means for training surgeons and medical students to develop the skills required for the laparoscopic technique.

RESUMO
Sexual prejudice against bisexuals is widespread in society. However, little research has been done on this phenomenon because it is difficult to measure. The aim of the current study was to validate a short version of the Biphobia Scale for the Brazilian context (EPSB-br). In the first study, the EPSB-br showed unifactorial structure and convergent validity with scales measuring beliefs and stereotypes about bisexuality. Study 2 showed the EPSB-br's convergent-discriminant validity with scales measuring religiosity, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and sleepiness. Finally, Study 3 demonstrated the criterion-related validity of the EPSB-br through an experimental manipulation in which participants watched a video of a pretend teacher and assigned a salary to it. Taken together, these results showed evidence of validity and reliability of the EPSB-br, which introduced a measure of prejudice against bisexual people in Brazil. (AU)
O preconceito sexual contra bissexuais é fortemente presente na sociedade. Entretanto, este fenômeno ainda é pouco estudado, dada a dificuldade em sua mensuração. O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de validar uma versão reduzida da Biphobia Scale para o contexto brasileiro. No primeiro estudo, a Escala de Preconceito Sexual contra Bissexuais (EPSB-br) apresentou uma estrutura unifatorial e uma validade convergente com escalas que mensuram crenças e estereótipos sobre a bissexualidade. O Estudo 2 evidenciou a validade concorrente-discriminante da EPSB-br com a religiosidade, escalas de autoritarismo de direita, orientação à dominância social e sonolência. Por fim, o Estudo 3 demonstrou a validade de critério da EPSB-br a partir de uma manipulação experimental, na qual os participantes assistiram a um vídeo sobre um professor e atribuíram-lhe um salário. A síntese dos resultados mostrou evidências de validade e confiabilidade da EPSB-br, introduzindo uma medida de preconceito contra pessoas bissexuais no Brasil. (AU)

ABSTRACT Background: Cognitive Fusion (CF) is a psychological problem that is a fundamental concept within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Cognitive Fusion Scale (CFS), which is used to measure this concept, has not been adapted or validated in Cuba. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the CFA in adults with anxiety symptoms. Method: Qualitative and quantitative techniques were combined: Expert interview, correlation and concordance coefficients and factor analysis. Result: The CFQ was adapted from a linguistic and cultural perspective. Nine experts were consulted and consensus was assessed using the content validity coefficient of appropriateness (0.97). During piloting with 35 people, the test achieved a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.927). When the adapted test was applied to 106 adults with anxiety symptoms, a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.869) was achieved, demonstrating the homogeneity of the test. The exploratory factor analysis (KMO = 0.820, X2 (338) = 21, p < 0.001) showed item ambiguities of less than 0.6 and factor loadings of more than 0.3. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit (X2 (14) = 45.1, p < 0.001). A low and statistically significant correlation (Rho = 0.216, p < 0.05) was found in relation to IDARE (state). Conclusion: The adapted CFQ was valid in terms of content, showed high reliability values and its one-dimensionality was verified. The adapted instrument shows a correlation between FC and anxiety symptoms. An instrument like this could improve the diagnosis of CF, as well as increase the quality of care for the patient.
RESUMEN Introducción: La Fusión Cognitiva (FC) es un problema psicológico que constituye un concepto fundamental dentro de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso. La Escala de Fusión Cognitiva (EFC) utilizada para medir este concepto no ha sido adaptada ni validada en Cuba. Objetivo: Evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la EFC en personas adultas con síntomas de ansiedad. Método: Se combinaron técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas: consulta a expertos, coeficientes de correlación y concordancia y análisis factorial. Resultados: Se adaptó la EFC desde una perspectiva lingüística y cultural. Se consultaron a 9 expertos y se evaluó el consenso mediante el coeficiente de validez de contenido sobre la suficiencia (0,97). Durante el pilotaje con 35 personas, el test alcanzó un coeficiente α de Cronbach (0,927). Al aplicar el test adaptado en 106 adultos con síntomas de ansiedad se obtuvo un coeficiente α de Cronbach (0,869), lo que evidencia la homogeneidad del test. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (KMO = 0,820, X2(338) = 21, p < 0,001) alcanzó unicidades de los ítems menores que 0,6 y cargas factoriales mayores que 0,3. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio mostró un buen ajuste del modelo (X2(14) = 45,1, p < 0,001). Se encontró una correlación baja y estadísticamente significativa (Rho = 0,216, p < 0,05) respecto al IDARE (estado). Conclusión: La EFC adaptada fue válida en tanto contenido, mostró altos valores de fiabilidad y se verificó su unidimensionalidad. El instrumento adaptado muestra una correlación entre la FC y los síntomas de ansiedad. Contar con un instrumento como este podría mejorar el diagnóstico de la FC, así como incrementar la calidad del tratamiento que se le brinda al paciente.
RESUMO
Adotamos o conceito de condições de trabalho abrangendo aspectos do conteúdo e do entorno do trabalho. Entretanto, havia a demanda de explorar as suas especificidades para servidores de universidades federais, visando uma melhor aproximação da realidade e, simultaneamente, explorar sua variabilidade histórica como esperado teoricamente. A pesquisa, então, almejou desenvolver uma versão do Questionário das Condições de Trabalho (QCT) para os servidores da UFMG e aperfeiçoá-lo. Modificamos o QCT adaptando itens e introduzindo outros; exploramos as estruturas fatoriais e avaliamos seu aperfeiçoamento psicométrico. Aplicamos questionários estruturados em 1.060 participantes. Por meio de análise fatorial exploratória, encontramos uma estrutura empírica com fatores de segunda e primeira ordem. Os de segunda ordem divergem das categorias teóricas aplicadas em pesquisas anteriores. Esses fatores e os primários (p. ex., Processo Burocrático e Participação) refletiram a percepção dos servidores acerca da realidade vivencial. A nova versão do QCT pode ser útil em diagnósticos ocupacionais. (AU)
We adopted the concept of working conditions covering the content and surrounding aspects of work. However, there is a need to explore its specificities for public workers in federal universities with the intention of constructing a better approximation to reality, and, simultaneously, exploring their historical variability as theoretical expected. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a version of the Working Conditions Questionnaires (WCQ) for UFMG's public workers and improve it. We changed the WCQ, adapting items and creating others; we explored the factorial structures; and evaluated their psychometric properties. We applied the structured questionnaire with 1,060 participants. Through exploratory factor analysis, we found an empirical structure with first and second order factors. The second order factors differed from the theoretical categories applied in previous studies. The factors found (e.g., Bureaucratic Process and Participation) reflected the public workers perception about the reality experienced. The new version of the WCQ can be useful in occupational diagnostics. (AU)

RESUMO
Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue determinar, a través de análisis factorial confirmatorio, la validez de constructo de la Escala de Involucramiento Emocional en Contextos de Aprendizaje en Línea, que consta de las siguientes subescalas: Alegría anticipatoria, Entusiasmo-Disfrute y Orgullo. Participaron 146 alumnos del Bachillerato a Distancia del Estado de Puebla (52.7% mujeres, x - edad: 25, σ: 11 años). Se encontró que el ajuste de los datos empíricos a la estructura teórica original propuesta en la escala fue aceptable (GFI: 0.983, NFI: 0.978, y PNFI: 0.852). Con base en estos resultados, se argumenta que la base teórica del instrumento es sólida y que éste cuenta con una adecuada validez de constructo, por lo que puede considerarse como una herramienta válida y confiable para evaluar el involucramiento emocional del alumno en escenarios de aprendizaje en línea.
Abstract The objective of the study was to determine, through confirmatory factor analysis, the construct validity of the Emotional Engagement Scale in Online Learning Contexts, which consists of the following subscales: Anticipatory joy, Enthusiasm-Enjoyment and Pride. 146 students of the Distance Baccalaureate of the State of Puebla participated in the study (52.7% women, x - age: 25, σ: 11 years). Results showed that the adjustment of the empirical data to the original theoretical structure proposed in the scale was acceptable (GFI: 0.983, NFI: 0.978, and PNFI: 0.852). Based on these results, it is argued that the Emotional Engagement Scale in Online Learning Contexts has a solid theoretical base and it has adequate construct validity, so it can be considered as a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the emotional involvement of students in online learning settings.
RESUMO
Introducción: Los estilos de pensamiento permiten conocer cómo las personas utilizan sus aptitudes a la hora de resolver situaciones problemáticas. El Inventario de Estilos de Pensamiento (TSI) es uno de los instrumentos más difundidos a nivel mundial, diseñado para evaluar los 13 estilos de pensamiento formulados en la Teoría del Autogobierno Mental -Legislativo, Ejecutivo, Judicial, Monárquico, Jerárquico, Oligárquico, Anárquico, Global, Local, Interno, Externo, Liberal, Conservador. Método: Con el propósito de adaptar la escala a población universitaria local se revisaron aspectos lingüísticos así como la escala de respuesta. Tras un estudio piloto, se recogió una muestra de 361 estudiantes universitarios de Buenos Aires para efectuar análisis factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio por un lado, y de consistencia interna por otro. Resultados: Se obtuvo una solución de 7 factores -Judicial/Liberal, Ejecutivo/Conservador, Externo, Monárquico, Global, Jerárquico, Legislativo- que logró conservar 45 de los 104 ítems puestos a prueba. Conclusión: La consistencia interna de los factores extraídos alcanzó valores apropiados. Se discuten los resultados a la luz del modelo teórico y se proponen futuras líneas de investigación.
Background: Thinking styles lead to describe how people use their abilities when they have to deal with problem solving situations. The Thinking Styles Inventory TSI- is one of the most worldwide employed scales, developed to assess 13 thinking styles posed in the Theory of Mental Self-government -Legislative, Executive, Judicial, Monarchic, Hierarchic, Oligarchic, Anarchic, Global, Local, Internal, External, Liberal, Conservative. Method: Aiming at the adaptation of the scale to local college students' population, linguistic aspects were reviewed as well as the response scale. After a pilot study, a sample composed of 361 college students from Buenos Aires responded the inventory in order to perform exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyzes on the one hand, and an internal consistency on the other. Result: A 7-factor structure -Judicial/Liberal, Executive/Conservative, External, Monarchic, Global, Hierarchic, Legislative-, was obtained. Conclusion: Such a version maintained 45 of the 104 tested items. Internal consistency of the extracted dimensions reached adequate values. Results are examined considering the theoretical model and further research lines.
RESUMO
Resumen. El objetivo del presente estudio de tipo instrumental fue determinar la validez de constructo y confiabilidad de la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida, en escolares de zonas rurales y urbanas de Cundinamarca. Para ello, se contó con la participación de 258 escolares de la ciudad de Bogotá y de los municipios de Subachoque y Cógua, Cundinamarca, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años (M = 15.03, DT = 1.219); se les aplicó la escala, llevando a cabo análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios, así como análisis de confiabilidad y consistencia interna. Los resultados muestran una escala unifactorial, que explica el 57.669% de la varianza total, con dicho modelo unifactorial confirmado, un alfa de Cronbach de .814, correlaciones positivas entre todos los reactivos y entre los ítems con el total de la escala, lo que permite afirmar que la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida cuenta con adecuados índices de validez y confiabilidad para ser utilizada como una medida en escolares de zonas rurales y urbanas de Cundinamarca.

A autoeficácia no uso de preservativos está relacionada à saúde, principalmente na prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis. Objetivou-se adaptar a Escala de Autoeficácia no Uso de Preservativos para o contexto brasileiro. Para isso, foram realizados dois estudos a partir de um questionário online. O Estudo 1 contou com 332 participantes da população geral, a maioria mulheres (63,6%), com média de idade de 25,2 anos (DP=7,4). A análise fatorial exploratória identificou quatro fatores: Habilidade, Assertividade, Prazer e Drogas e Doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, explicando 66,8% da variância. O Estudo 2 contou com 907 participantes, com média de idade de 23,6 anos (DP=6,1). A análise fatorial confirmatória apresentou os seguintes indicadores de ajuste: GFI=0,93; CFI=0,91; RMSEA=0,08 (IC90%=0,07-0,09). Os resultados comprovam a adequação da medida, reunindo evidências de validade. Discute-se a importância desta medida em pesquisas na área de saúde.

Gather evidence of construct and convergent validity and internal consistency of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). A total of 441 students, mostly female (54.6%), with a mean age of 16 years (SD = 1.14), answered the ERQ and demographic questions. They were randomly distributed in two databases, which were submitted to exploratory (sample 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (sample 2). The exploratory results indicated a three-factor structure: Cognitive Reappraisal, Redirection of Attentional Focus and Emotional Suppression, which together explained 59.3% of the total variance (α = 0,67; α = 0,63; α = 0,64). For the confirmatory analyses, the following goodness-of-fit indices were found: χ² (24) = 67.02, p <0.001; χ² / df = 2.79, GFI = 0.93; AGFI = 0.88; CFI = 0.88 and RMSEA = 0.08 (IC 90% = 0.064-0.100). Thus, it is concluded that the ERQ possesses satisfactory psychometric indices, being the promising instrument for evaluation of emotion regulation. (AU)
Verificar evidências de validade de construto, validade convergente e consistência interna do Questionário de Regulação Emocional (QRE). Participaram 441 estudantes, a maioria do sexo feminino (54,6%), com idade média de 16 anos (DP = 1,14), respondendo ao QRE e dados sociodemográficos. Distribuíram-se aleatoriamente em dois bancos de dados, nos quais foram submetidos à análise fatorial exploratória (amostra 1) e confirmatória (amostra 2). Os resultados exploratórios apontaram uma estrutura trifatorial: Reavaliação Cognitiva, Redirecionamento do foco de atenção e Supressão Emocional, que explicaram conjuntamente 59,3% da variância total (α= 0,67; α =0,63; α= 0,64). Nas análises confirmatórias, foram encontrados os respectivos índices de bondade de ajuste: χ²(24) = 67,02, p < 0,001; χ²/gl = 2,79, GFI = 0,93; AGFI = 0,88; CFI = 0,88 e RMSEA = 0,08 (IC90% = 0,064 - 0,014). Desse modo, conclui-se que o QRE possui índices psicométricos satisfatórios, sendo um instrumento promissor para avaliação da regulação emocional. (AU)

O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar evidências de validade da estrutura interna da versão brasileira do California Older Person Pleasant Events Schedule OPPES-BR, um instrumento para avaliar o envolvimento de idosos em atividades prazerosas, que pode ser utilizado em contexto clínico para o tratamento da depressão. Para tal, foi realizada uma análise fatorial exploratória em amostra brasileira de 337 idosos não institucionalizados e sem alterações cognitivas, com idade média de 69,7 anos, sendo 68,2% do sexo feminino. Observou-se que o OPPES-BR abarcou quatro domínios: Atividades Sociais e de Competência, Atividades Contemplativas, Atividades Práticas e Atividades Intelectuais, explicando 43,6% da variância total. Essa estrutura fatorial necessita ainda ser confirmada em uma segunda amostra de idosos brasileiros, por meio de análises fatoriais confirmatórias. No entanto, os resultados obtidos já fornecem evidências de validade da estrutura interna do OPPES-BR, sugerindo possibilidades de aplicação em contextos de intervenções e de pesquisas com idosos brasileiros.

The objective of the present study was to investigate internal structure validity evidence of the Brazilian version of the California Older Person's Pleasant Events Schedule (COPPES-BR), an instrument to evaluate the involvement of older adults in pleasurable activities, which can be used in clinical context for the treatment of depression. To that end, an exploratory factor analysis was performed in a Brazilian sample of 337 non-institutionalized older adult individuals with no cognitive impairment, with a mean age of 69.7 years, of which 68.2% were female. It was observed that COPPES-BR covered four domains: Social Activities and Competence, Contemplative Activities, Practical Activities, and Intellectual Activities, accounting for 43.6% of the total variance. This factor structure still needs to be confirmed in a second sample of Brazilian seniors through confirmatory factor analysis. However, the results obtained already provide validity evidence of the internal structure of COPPES-BR, suggesting possibilities of application in contexts of interventions and research with Brazilian seniors.

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar evidencias de validez en la estructura interna de la versión brasileña del California Older Person Pleasant Events Schedule OPPES-BR, un instrumento norteamericano que evalúa la participación de los ancianos en actividades placenteras, que puede ser utilizado en el contexto clínico para el tratamiento de depresión. Para eso fue realizado un análisis factorial exploratorio con una muestra brasileña de 337 ancianos de la comunidad, sin alteraciones cognitivas, con edad promedio de 69,7 años, siendo 68,2% de sexo femenino. Se observó que el OPPES-BR incluye cuatro dominios: Actividades Sociales y de Competencia, Actividades Contemplativas, Actividades Prácticas y Actividades Intelectuales, explicando un 43,6% de la varianza total. Esta estructura factorial necesita aún de confirmación con una segunda muestra de ancianos brasileños, a través de análisis factorial confirmatorio. Sin embargo, los resultados obtenidos proporcionan evidencias de validez de estructura interna del OPPES-BR, sugiriéndose posibilidades de aplicación en contextos de intervención y de investigación con ancianos brasileños.

En este estudio se obtuvo evidencia de validez y confiabilidad de la escala de Locus de Control de la Salud en Dios (GLHC) en una muestra de 539 adultos mexicanos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. El análisis de validez se basó en el análisis del contenido de los ítems y de la estructura interna del GLHC. El primer procedimiento estuvo a cargo de seis expertos, quienes evaluaron la pertinencia de la adaptación de los ítems. El segundo procedimiento fue un análisis factorial confirmatorio de grupo múltiple, de acuerdo al sexo y edad, a fin de evaluar la invarianza de medición del GLHC. Finalmente, la confiabilidad fue calculada mediante los coeficientes ω y H. El análisis factorial confirmatorio demostró una estructura de un solo factor con seis ítems, interpretable para la población de estudio con invarianza de medición por sexo, aunque deben tomarse precauciones al interpretar comparaciones por grupos de edad. La confiabilidad del constructo obtuvo magnitudes elevadas (>.90). Los resultados indican que la GLHC puede brindar información válida y confiable para valorar el locus de control de la salud en Dios para mexicanos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.
The validity and reliability of the God Locus of Health Control (GLHC) scale were determined in a sample of 539 Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The validity analysis was based on the analysis of the GLHC scale's items content and internal structure. The first procedure was conducted by six experts who evaluated the pertinence of the items adaptation. The second procedure consisted of a multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis by gender and age, aimed to evaluate the GLHC scale's measurement invariance. Finally, reliability was estimated by means of coefficients ω and H. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a six-item unifactorial structure, interpretable for the study population with measurement invariance by gender. Nevertheless, precautions should be taken when interpreting age-group comparisons. The magnitude of the construct reliability was high (>0.90). The results indicate that the GLHC scale may provide valid and reliable information to assess the God Locus of Health Control in Mexicans with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
RESUMO
El propósito principal del presente estudio fue verificar la estructura factorial de las dos escalas que componen el Inventario Multicultural de la Expresión de la Ira y Hostilidad desde una perspectiva confirmatoria. Se utilizó el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio en una muestra de 264 participantes provenientes de una universidad privada de Lima, Perú. El muestreo fue no probabilístico e incluyó estudiantes (25%), personal docente (17.8%) y personal administrativo (57.2%). La confiabilidad del instrumento fue evaluada mediante los modelos congenérico, tau-equivalente y paralelo para cada una de las seis subescalas del instrumento, así como también calculada en base al coeficiente alfa de Cronbach con intervalos de confianza.
The main purpose of this study was to verify the factorial structure of the two scales that make up the Multicultural Inventory of Expression of Anger and Hostility from a confirmatory perspective. We performed the Confirmatory Factor Analysis with a non-probability sample of 264 participants from a private university in Lima, Peru. The sampling included university students (25%), faculty members (17.8%) and administrative staff (57.2%). The reliability of the instrument was evaluated using the congeneric, tau-equivalent and parallel models for each of the six subscales of the instrument, as well as calculated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient with confidence intervals. Results: Factor analysis performed in the present Peruvian sample identified four dimensions for the Anger Expression Scale (Anger-In, Anger-Out, Anger/Control In, and Anger/Control-Out) and two factors for the Hostility Scale (impulsive reaction to anger; and temperament), which substantially verified the factor structure of previous studies conducted in Latin American samples. The congeneric modelindicates an appropriate fit for each of the subscales of anger and hostility. Based on the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis performed in the present study, the factorial structure of both scales of the Multicultural Anger Expression and Hostility Inventory is robust and shows substantial empirical evidence of construction validity and internal consistency of the instrument.
RESUMO
Resumen Se realizó un análisis psicométrico de la Escala de Felicidad de Lima que desarrolló Reynaldo Alarcón (2006) en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. La muestra estuvo conformada por 322 estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad Católica San Pablo de Arequipa con un rango de edad de entre 17 y 28 años. Para determinar la validez primero se procedió a realizar correlaciones ítem escala, obteniendo coeficientes de correlación que se ubican entre .33 y .64. Se valoró la validez de constructo por medio del análisis factorial exploratorio con el método de mínimos cuadrados no ponderados, obteniéndose un valor KMO de .927. Mediante la técnica de rotación Promin se hallaron cuatro factores, que confirman los factores propuestos por Alarcón. Se concluye que la Escala de Felicidad de Lima presenta adecuadas propiedades psicomé-tricas que permiten recomendar su empleo como instrumento de evaluación de la felicidad en población universitaria.
Abstract A psychometric scale analysis of happiness that developed Reynaldo Alarcon Lima (2006) in a sample of university students was conducted. The sample consisted of 322 college students from San Pablo Catholic University of Arequipa with an age range between 17 and 28 years. To determine the validity first proceeded to perform item-scale correlations, obtaining correlation coefficients are between .33 and .64. Cons-truct validity through exploratory factor analysis with the method of unweighted least squares was assessed, giving a value of .927 KMO. By rotation technique Promin four factors, that confirm the factors proposed by Alarcon found. It is concluded that Lima Happiness Scale has adequate psychometric properties that allow to recommend its use as a tool for evaluation of happiness in university population.

El objetivo del presente artículo es revisar las propiedades psieométrieas del Stroop, test de colores y palabras de Golden (2007) en población colombiana no clínica. 1332 participantes, 561 varones (42.1%) y 771 mujeres (57.9%) entre 7 y 80 años de edad, (M= 29.80 DE= 17.95). agrupados en los rangos de edad de 16 a 44 años (48.5%), 7 a 15 (28.1%), 45 a 64 (18.1%) y 65 a 80 (5.2 %). La confiabilidad fue evaluada utilizando test-retest a través del coeficiente de correlación intraclase con IC al 95% con diferencia de diez minutos entre las dos aplicaciones. La validez de constructo fue medida mediante el Análisis de componentes principales ACP La validez convergente fue calculada a través de r de Pearson entre las subescalas de Stroop y el TMT-B. El Análisis paralelo de horn y el ACP arrojaron evidencia de tres componentes que explican el 86.84% de la varianza. Las correlaciones r de Pearson, el Stroop y TMT-B fueron significativas a 0.01 con valores de -0.41 para P; -0.35 para C; de -0.40 para PC, y de -0.14 para interferencia. La confiabilidad encontrada fue superior a 0.70 en todas las láminas del Stroop. La validez discriminante no halló diferencias entre hombres y mujeres, pero si para edad, estrato y escolaridad. Las medias y desviaciones estándar en la población colombiana fueron inferiores en todas las escalas a la versión española, lo que puede ser explicado por diferencias culturales importantes. Los resultados permiten afirmar que el Stroop es válido y confiable para diversos grupos etarios de poblaciones no patológicas en Colombia.
The aim of this article is to review the psychometric properties of the Stroop Color and Word Test Golden (2007) in Colombian nonclinical population. 1,332 participants, 561 males (42.1%) and 771 women (57.9%) between 7 and 80 years old, (M = 29.80 SD = 17.95) grouped into age ranges of 16-44 years (48.5%), 7-15 (28.1%), 45-64 (18.1%) and 65-80 (5.2%). Reliability was assessed using test-retest through intraclass correlation coefficient with IC95% far ten minutes between the two applications. Construct validity was measured by Principal Component Analysis ACP Convergent validity was calculated by Pearson r between Stroop subscales and TMT-B. Parallel analysis of Horn and gave evidence ACP three components explaining 86.84% of the variance. Pearson r correlations Stroop and TMT-B were significant at 0.01 to -0.41 values for P; -0.35 for C; from -0.40 to -0.14 for PC and Interference. Reliability found was higher than 0.70 in all Stroop scales. Discriminant validity found no difference between men and women, but if for age stratum and schooling. Means and standard deviations were lower Colombian population at all scales to the Spanish version, which can be explained by significant cultural differences. These results support the Stroop is valid and reliable for different age groups of no pathological populations in Colombia.
RESUMO
Resumen: El cuestionario de alimentación infantil (CFQ) desarrollado por Birch, Fisher, Grimm-Thomas, Markey, y Sawyer, (2001) es un instrumento ampliamente utilizado para evaluar las creencias, actitudes y prácticas alrededor de la alimentación infantil, sin embargo no se conocen sus propiedades psicométrias en población mexicana. El objetivo del presente estudio fue probar la confiabilidad y validez de constructo de la versión modificada del CFQ en población mexicana. Previo a la evaluación de las características psicométricas, la escala fue traducida al español, usando el método de traducción retraducción, a partir del cual se hicieron modificaciones a algunos ítems, para hacerlos culturalmente adecuados y se agregaron tres nuevos ítems. Participaron un total de 1157 mujeres con hijos de 5 a 12 años de edad. Se obtuvo una confiabilidad a través del coeficiente alpha de Cronbach de .858. Se confirmó la validez de constructo, a través del análisis factorial de componentes principales con rotación varimax, del cual se obtuvieron ocho factores que explican 59.99% de varianza. Se obtuvo un KMO de .785 y una Chi-cuadrada de 6400.172, p<.001. La presente versión muestra ser lingüística, culturalmente y psicométricamente apropiada para evaluar las prácticas, creencias y actitudes parentales hacia la alimentación infantil en madres mexicanas de niños de 5 a 11 años de edad.
Abstract: The Child Feeding Questionnaire developed by Birch, Fisher, Grimm-Thomas, Markey, & Sawyer, (2001) is a widely used mesurement to assess beliefs, actitudes and practices around child feeding. However, the psychometric characteristics of the CFQ for use with Mexican populations are unknown. The pupose of this stuydy was to test the reliability and validity of a modified version of the CFQ in mexican population. Prior to testing psychometric characteristics, the questionnaire was traslated into spanish usign a traslation-back-traslation method. Some adaptation were made, in order to make them culturally appropriate. Also three new items were added. The questionnaire was administered to 1157 mexican mothers of children aged 5-12 years. Constuct validity was assessed by principal componet factor analysis with varimax rotation, revealed the presence of eight major factors, which explain 59.99% of variance. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and was aceptable for the eigth factors (a: .858). This modified eight factor CFQ appears to be a linguistically, and culturally appropriate instrument for assessing practices, attitudes and parental feeding beliefs in Mexican mother of 5 to12 years children.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Short Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire (SADD) has shown good reliability and validity in previous studies. In Mexico, although it is widely used in addiction treatment centers, little is known about its psychometric properties and diagnostic accuracy.OBJECTIVE: Hence, this study performed a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) on three SADD versions (15, 14 and 12 items) and examined their operating characteristics.METHOD: The sample included 570 individuals from the 30 Addiction Residential Centers localized in the central zone of Mexico.RESULTS: The three versions showed an internal consistency of >.90, fair goodness-of-fit, and significant correlations with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) 5.0 Alcohol dependence (AD) diagnostic criteria. The analysis of the operating characteristics revealed that each version accounted for 84-85% of the area under the curve (AUC).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The three SADD versions possess reliability and validity properties for the assessment of the alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) and adequate diagnostic accuracy for the improvement of patients with AD in residential settings.
ANTECEDENTES: La Breve Escala de Dependencia al Alcohol (BEDA) ha mostrado confiabilidad y validez en estudios previos. En México, a pesar de que se ha utilizado ampliamente en programas de tratamiento para las adicciones, se conoce muy poco sobre sus propiedades psicométricas y su eficiencia diagnóstica.OBJETIVO: Por lo tanto, el presente estudio realizó un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) en tres diferentes versiones de la BEDA (15, 14 y 12 reactivos) y examinó sus características operativas.MÉTODO: La muestra incluyó 570 personas que recibían atención en centros de tratamiento residencial para las adicciones de la zona central de México.RESULTADOS: Las tres versiones mostraron una consistencia interna >.90, adecuada bondad de ajuste y correlaciones significativas con la Mini Entrevista Neuropsiquiátrica Internacional, v. 5.0, de criterio diagnóstico de Dependencia al Alcohol (DA). El análisis de las características operativas reveló que cada versión representó 84-85% del área bajo la curva.DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIÓN: Las tres versiones de la BEDA poseen propiedades de confiabilidad y validez para la evaluación del síndrome de dependencia al alcohol (SDA) y adecuada eficiencia diagnóstica para el mejoramiento de los pacientes con dependencia al alcohol en escenarios residenciales.
RESUMO
La evaluación de la satisfacción laboral permite conocer y explicar varios resultados conductuales del trabajador, como su desempeño laboral. El presente estudio analiza la estructura interna de la versión breve de la Escala de Satisfacción Laboral de Warr, Cook y Wall (1979), que se orienta a medir unidimensionalmente el constructo de satisfacción laboral con ítems relacionados con la satisfacción intrínseca y extrínseca. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 88 profesionales de una institución de rehabilitación ubicada en Lima Metropolitana, a los que se les administró la versión completa del instrumento (16 ítems) para examinar la versión abreviada y derivar una nueva. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) para evaluar la estructura factorial, mediante el modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales. Se halló que una dimensión latente es válida para el instrumento completo, y se obtuvo una nueva versión breve con diferentes ítems, mayor varianza explicada y cargas factoriales elevadas. Las estimaciones de confiabilidad fueron aceptables. La distribución del puntaje fue inusualmente ajustada a un modelo Wakeby. Se discute los resultados en el contexto del uso de esta nueva versión y de la distribución de los puntajes.
The job satisfaction evaluation allows us to know and explain several behavioral results of a worker such as his job performance. This study analyzes the internal structure of the brief version by Warr, Cook and WallÆs Job Satisfaction Scale (1979), which is designed to unidimensionaly measure the job satisfaction construct with items related to intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction. The sample was composed by 88 professionals from a rehabilitation institution located in Metropolitan Lima, who were given the full version of the instrument (16 items), to examine the abbreviated version and derive a new one. We performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factorial structure through the modeling of structural equations. It was found that a latent dimension is valid for the comprehensive instrument, and a new version was obtained with different items, greater explained variance, and higher factorial loads. The reliability estimates were acceptable. The score distribution was unusually set to a Wakeby model. The results are discussed in the usage context of this new version and the distribution of the scores.
