Estandarización por Curso y Género de la Escala de Autoconcepto AF-5 en Educación Primaria

Abstract

In view of the different existing scales to measure self-concept, one of the most significant scales is the AF-5, also used in the last years of primary education. Given the need to adapt this type of instruments to be able to make judgements based on cultural particularities, the instrument was standardized for the Spanish population. The results point out that the theoretical model of the AF-5 has acceptable reliability and validity indexes for this population. In addition, for the standardization in percentiles, both for the Likert scale and for the z scores, the existing gender and year differences have been considered. Finally, the results obtained and the applicability of the instrument are discussed.
