Análisis de la estructura jerárquica del inventario de conductas de la función ejecutiva en una muestra de Estudiantes Universitarios

Abstract

The BRIEF-SR (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions Self-Report Version) is a Behavior scale developed to assess executive functioning in real contexts. The aim of the present investigation is to estimate the psychometrics properties of this questionnaire in a sample of 240 undergraduate students and test the hierarchical latent structure proposed by its theoretical model. The confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit indices for a hierarchical latent structure, and the internal consistency coefficients were adequate. Results suggest that the Chilean version of the BRIEF-SR is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing executive functions in adolescents from 17 through18 years old.
