Propiedades psicométricas de instrumentos de evaluación de aspectos psicosociales en adolescentes de México

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of Roberts' Suicidal Ideation Scale, Radloff' Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D], Radloff, Rosenberg Self-Esteem, and Impulsiveness, Dad Relationship and Mom Relationship, the three of Climent, Aragón & Plutchick. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, ex post facto study was performed with 4, 759 adolescents of both sexes in Chiapas, Mexico. Reliability through Cronbach's alpha coeficient reported higher rates to .700 for all instruments, except for Impulsiveness Scale. The exploratory factor analyzes showed items such arrangements, but not identical, to those reported in other studies where these instruments have been administered, confirming the validity of the theoretical constructs on which its design was based. The scales are valid for use in adolescents from México, considering the cut-off points established for each of these tools.
