El objetivo de la investigación es determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Conducta Antisocial y Delictiva en Adolescentes (ECADA; Andreu & Peña, 2013) escolares de un distrito de Huánuco. La muestra estuvo conformada por 347 estudiantes (47.3 % varones y 52.7 % mujeres), con edades entre 12 a 17 años, de instituciones educativas públicas y privadas. Se comprobó la validez basada en relación con otra variable a través de la adaptación del Cuestionario de Agresión de Buss y Perry (AQ) realizada por Matalinares et al. (2012). Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio revelan que la estructura de segundo orden (M3) presenta adecuados índices de bondad de ajuste: χ2(116) = 144.93; CFI = .90; RMSEA = .03. Además, se reporta una fiabilidad adecuada (> .80). En conclusión, la ECADA posee aceptables evidencias de validez y de fiabilidad, por tanto, se recomienda continuar investigando las propiedades psicométricas de este instrumento. / The objective of the research is to determine the psychometric properties of the Scale of Antisocial and Criminal Behavior in Adolescents (ECADA; Andreu and Peña, 2013) in schoolchildren in a district of Huánuco. The sample consisted of 347 students (47.3% men and 52.7% women), aged between 12 and 17 years, from public and private educational institutions. Validity based on another variable was verified through the adaptation of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) carried out by Matalinares et al. (2012). The results of the confirmatory factorial analysis reveal that the second-order structure (M3) presents adequate goodness-of-fit indices: χ2(116) = 144.93; CFI = .90; RMSEA = .03. In addition, adequate reliability (> .80) is reported. In conclusion, the ECADA has acceptable evidence of validity and reliability, therefore, it is recommended to continue investigating the psychometric properties of this instrument. / Tesis

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las evidencias de validez y confiabilidad de la Escala de Vitalidad Subjetiva (SVS) en adultos de Santa María de Huachipa. La muestra estuvo conformada por 230 participantes (36% hombres y 64% mujeres) entre 18 y 60 años. Además de la SVS, se aplicó la Escala de Satisfacción y Frustración de las Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas (BPNSFS) para realizar la validez convergente y divergente. Como evidencia de validez basada en la estructura interna, en el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) se encontró que el modelo unifactorial presentó adecuados índices de ajuste (χ2 = 35.6, gl =14, CFI = .96, RMSEA = .037, SRMR = .08, λ =.25 y .78). Además, se realizó el análisis de confiabilidad mediante el coeficiente omega para el único factor, el cual obtuvo un valor de .84. Asimismo, el resultado de relaciones con otras variables arrojó una correlación positiva entre las dimensiones de satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y vitalidad subjetiva (r = .42 y .47) y una relación negativa con las dimensiones frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y vitalidad subjetiva (r = .36 y .44). Se concluye que la escala de Vitalidad Subjetiva es una medida con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para la muestra de estudio. / The objective of this study was to determine the validity and reliability evidence of the Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS) in adults from Santa María de Huachipa. The sample consisted of 230 participants (36% men and 64% women) between 18 and 60 years old. In addition to the SVS, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) was applied to perform convergent and divergent validity. As evidence of validity based on the internal structure, in the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) it was found that the unifactorial model presented adequate fit indices (χ2 = 35.6, gl = 14, CFI = .96, RMSEA = .037, SRMR = .08, λ = .25 and .78). In addition, the reliability analysis was performed using the omega coefficient for the only factor, which obtained a value of .84. Likewise, the result of relationships with other variables showed a positive correlation between the dimensions of satisfaction of basic psychological needs and subjective vitality (r =.42 and .47) and a negative relationship with the frustration dimensions of basic psychological needs and subjective vitality (r =.36 and .44). It is concluded that the Subjective Vitality scale is a measure with adequate psychometric properties for the study sample. / Tesis

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) en una muestra de 338 mujeres peruanas (M=28.35, DE= 12.45). Como objetivos específicos, se buscó evaluar la evidencia de validez basada en la estructura interna, la validez de contenido, la evidencia de validez basada en la relación con otras variables de tipo convergente y la confiabilidad por consistencia interna. Se llevó a cabo un AFC que mostró que el modelo de los tres factores de la versión en español del DEBQ se ajusta adecuadamente a la población peruana. Se encontró que el grado de confiabilidad era adecuado (valores alfa de Cronbach: Comer Emocional = .92 [IC 95% = .917 - 941], Comer Externo = .85 [IC 95% = .821 - 873], Comer Restrictivo = .88 [IC 95% = .855 - 900]). Respecto a la de evidencia de validez basada en la relación con otras variables de tipo convergente, se evidencia que las tres dimensiones mantienen una correlación positiva y estadísticamente significativa con el BSQ-14. Así, la dimensión de comer restrictivo obtuvo la correlación más alta con el BSQ-14 (r = .58). El presente estudio es la primera adaptación del DEBQ a población peruana, lo que implica una contribución a la literatura en el uso del DEBQ para la evaluación de estilos alimentarios en las mujeres peruanas. / The aim of the present study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) in a sample of 335 Peruvian women (M = 28.37; SD = 12.48). Specific goals include: to evaluate the validity based on the internal structure of the scale, the convergent validity, and the reliability by internal consistency. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was carried out and showed that the three-factor model of the Spanish version of the DEBQ is adequately adjusted to the Peruvian population. Regarding reliability, it was found to be adequate (Cronbach’s alpha values: Emotional Eating = .92 [95% CI = .917 – 941], External Eating = .85 [95% CI = .821 – 873], Restrictive Eating = .88 [95% CI = .855 – 900]. As for convergent validity, it is evident that the three dimensions maintain a positive and statistically significant correlation with the BSQ-14. Thus, the restrictive eating scale obtained the highest correlation with the BSQ-14 (r = .58). The present study is the first adaptation of the DEBQ in peruvian population, which implies a contribution to the literature on the use of the instrument for the evaluation of eating styles in peruvian women. / Tesis

Shirom y Melamed (2006) proponen una forma de medir el burnout basados en la teoría de conservación de los recursos (COR). El objetivo fue determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala Shirom - Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM). La muestra se obtuvo mediante el muestreo no probabilístico, de tipo intencional por conveniencia, compuesta por 289 policías peruanos en servicio de ambos sexos entre los 20 a 61 años. Se realizó el análisis factorial exploratorio que confirmó la estructura original de tres factores (30.90%, 16.60% y 13.30% de varianza explicada) y cargas factoriales superiores a .30. Asimismo, se encontró una adecuada consistencia interna para las tres dimensiones. El factor fatiga física (ω = .88) y agotamiento emocional (ω = .82) obtuvieron alta consistencia interna mientras que el factor cansancio cognitivo (ω ≥ .65) obtuvo un puntaje aceptable. El SMBM cuenta con las propiedades psicométricas necesarias para considerarla una medida válida y confiable al usarla como instrumento de medición del burnout en futuras investigaciones. / Shirom & Melamed (2006) propose a way to gauge the burnout based on the Resource Conservation Theory (COR). The research objective is to establish “Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM)” psychometric properties. The sample size was composed by 289 both sexes peruvian policemen between 20 and 61 years old. The exploratory factor analysis was made confirming the three factors original structure, getting as a result factor loads higher than 30 (30.90%, 16.60% y 13.30%). Besides, Internal Consistency Coefficients calculated were acceptable for all three dimensions. Physical fatigue factor (ω =.88) and emotional exhaustion (ω =.82) got high internal consistency, while cognitive fatigue factor (ω ≥.65) got just an acceptable score. SMBM has the necessary psychometric properties to be considered valid and reliable as a Burnout measuring instrument on future investigations. / Tesis

L'autisme est un trouble envahissant du développement qui affecte toutes les fonctions sensorielles, perceptives, cognitives, communicatives, émotionnelles et relationnelles de l'enfant. S'appuyant sur la triade symptomatique autistique (altération qualitative des interactions sociales, altération qualitative de la communication et de l'imagination, caractère restreint, répétitif et stéréotypé des comportements, des centres d'intérêts et des activités), la définition de l'autisme de l'enfant a longtemps exclu les particularités sensorielles dont attestent pourtant à la fois les personnes avec autisme et les études scientifiques. Le DSM-5 a aujourd'hui réparé cet oubli. Actuellement si ces dysfonctionnements auditifs peuvent être identifiés par le clinicien à l'aide d'outils diagnostiques ou comportementaux validés, à notre connaissance, il n'existe pas d'outil spécifique pour les évaluer. Le premier objectif de cette recherche est d'élaborer une échelle d'Évaluation des Altérations du Comportement Auditif Autisme - Enfant (EACAA-E) utilisable par les cliniciens dans des situations d'examen de l'enfant avec TSA et qui présentent les qualités métrologiques nécessaires pour un usage en pratique clinique et en recherche. Le second objectif est de montrer que les altérations du comportement auditif chez des enfants avec TSA seraient une composante particulière de l'autisme, puis qu'indépendantes du degré de sévérité de l'autisme et du degré de sévérité du retard mental. Cinquante enfants et adolescents avec troubles du spectre de l'autisme et d'âge réel compris entre 2 ans et 18 ans sont recrutés dans des services de soins médico-psychologiques (Pédopsychiatrie, CAMSP) et inclus dans la recherche après consentement de la famille. Le diagnostic d'autisme est effectué à partir des critères du DSM 5 (rétrospectivement pour certains d'entre eux pour qui avait été utilisé initialement le DSM-IV-TR) et l'évaluation quantitative diagnostique est effectuée à l'aide de la CARS, de l'ADOS et de l'ADI-R. Le développement intellectuel et psychologique et le degré de sévérité du retard mental sont évalués à l'aide de tests appropriés (PEP 3, EDEI-R, BECS). L'échelle l'EACAA-E est une échelle originale qui a fait l'objet d'une première étude (Master recherche) et d'une première analyse psychométrique (Filipova et al. 2014) qui a abouti à sa forme définitive : l'échelle comporte 24 items couvrant 7 dimensions de la sensorialité auditive (bizarrerie, fascination, paradoxe, inconfort, hypoesthésie, hyperesthésie, difficulté). La cotation des items (de 0 à 4) permet de calculer un score global et un score par dimension. L'observation des comportements auditifs de l'enfant est réalisée au cours d'un examen psychologique du développement de la cognition et de la communication. Cet examen peut être enregistré. La cotation des items de comportements de l'échelle est réalisée à la fin de la séance par l'examinateur. Une double cotation inter et intra-cotateur est effectuée à partir du document vidéoscopique de l'examen. Les analyses psychométriques indiquent une bonne homogénéité de l'échelle et une bonne fidélité inter et intra-cotateur. L'étude antérieure préliminaire avait aussi montré que l'échelle EACAA-E est sensible aux changements induits par une prise en charge intégrative incluant la T.E.D (Filipova et al. 2014). Ces résultats attestent les qualités métrologiques de l'échelle. Par ailleurs, le score global est corrélé négativement au quotient de développement global, indiquant l'existence d'un lien entre la sévérité du retard mental et l'intensité des altérations du comportement auditif. Par contre, les scores à l'EACAA-E semblent indépendants de la sévérité globale de l'autisme, telle qu'évaluée quantitativement par la CARS. L'EACAA-E apparaît donc comme une échelle clinique francophone pertinente pour l'évaluation des altérations des comportements auditifs chez les enfants présentant un TSA. / Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that affects all sensory, perceptual, cognitive, communicative, emotional and relationship to the child. Based on the autistic triad of symptoms (qualitative impairment in social interaction, qualitative impairments in communication and imagination, restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities), the definition of child's autism has long ruled the sensory characteristics which nevertheless attest to both people with autism and scientific studies. The DSM-5 has now fixed this oversight. Currently if auditory dysfunction can be identified by the clinician using validated diagnostic or behavioral tools, to our knowledge, there is no specific tool to evaluate them. The first objective of this research is to develop the Auditory Behaviour Alterations Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ABAA-C) for use by clinicians in children's exam situations with ASD and having the metrological required for use in clinical practice and research. The second objective is to show that alterations of the auditory behavior in children with ASD would be a particular component of autism, as independent of the degree of severity of autism and the degree of severity of mental retardation. Participant. Fifty children and adolescents with disorders of the autism spectrum and actual age between 2 and 18 years were recruited from medical and psychological care (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, CAMSP) and included in the search after family consent. The diagnosis of autism is made from DSM 5 (retrospectively for some of them who had initially used the DSM-IV-TR) and diagnostic quantitative evaluation is performed using the CARS, the ADOS and ADI-R. The intellectual and psychological development and severity of mental retardation are evaluated using appropriate tests (PEP 3, EDEI-R, SCEB). Measurement'method. The Auditory Behaviour Alterations Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ABAA-C) is an original scale which was the subject of a first study (Master's degree) and a first psychometric analysis (2014 Filipova et al.) Which resulted in its final form: the scale includes 24 items covering seven dimensions of auditory sensory (oddity, fascinating, paradoxical, discomfort, hypoesthesia, hyperesthesia, difficulty). The listing of items (0 to 4) calculates an overall score and a score by dimension. The observation of the child's auditory behavior is made during a psychological examination of the development of cognition and communication. This examination can be registered. Trading on the scale behavior of items is performed at the end of the session by the examiner. A double rating by inter and intra-rater is carried out from the document videoscopic examination. Psychometric analysis indicates good homogeneity of the scale and good reliability inter and intra-rater. Preliminary earlier study also showed that ABAA-C scale is sensitive to changes induced by integrative care including T.E.D (Filipova et al. 2014). These results demonstrate the metrological qualities of the scale. Moreover, the overall score is negatively correlated to the overall development quotient, indicating the existence of a link between the severity of mental retardation and intensity alterations of the auditory behavior. By against and scores to the Auditory Behaviour Alterations Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ABAA-C) appear to be independent of the overall severity of autism, as assessed quantitatively by CARS. The Auditory Behaviour Alterations Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ABAA-C) appears as a relevant francophone clinical scale for assessing alterations in auditory behavior in children with ASD.

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo examinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Conflict Tactic Scales. La muestra constó de 301 estudiantes (158 varones y 143 mujeres) entre18-31 años. Como resultado del Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (AFE) se obtuvieron 3 factores en cada escala (Agresor: Daños, Agresión Psicológica y Física y Negociación; Víctima: Agresión Sexual y Daños, Agresión psicológica y Negociación). La variable de violencia contra la mujer, empleada para la validez convergente, presentó correlaciones significativas con ambas escalas: Agresor (rw= .79) y Víctima (rw= .77). Así mismo, los valores del coeficiente Omega confirmaron la confiabilidad de estas (ω =.93 para ambas escalas). En conclusión, la CTS-2 presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas en la muestra estudiada, empero, se requieren mayores estudios a fin de confirmar la estructura encontrada. / The present research aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Conflict Tactic Scales. The sample consisted of 301 University students (158 men and 143 women) between 18-31 years old. As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis, 3 factors were obtained on each scale (Aggressor: Damages, Psychological and Physical Aggression and Negotiation; Victim: Sexual Assault and Injuries, Psychological Aggression and Negotiation). The convergent variable of violence against women presented significant correlations with both scales: Aggressor (rw = .79) and Victim (rw = .77). Likewise, the Omega coefficient values ​​confirmed their reliability (ω =.93 for both scales). In conclusion, the CTS-2 presents adequate psychometric properties in the sample studied, however, further studies are required in order to confirm the structure found. / Tesis

La victimisation secondaire survient lorsque les victimes d’actes criminels subissent une première blessure par le crime et une seconde par les acteurs du système de justice pénale. Cependant, les recherches empiriques actuelles ne sont pas concluantes quant à l’impact du système de justice pénale sur les victimes. À cet effet, l’absence d’instrument standardisé pour mesurer la victimisation secondaire donne lieu à une opérationnalisation différente de ce construit d’une étude à l’autre, ce qui rend difficile la comparaison des études sur le sujet entre elles. Dans cette recherche, une tentative de standardisation de ce construit a été entreprise, afin de fournir une meilleure compréhension de la victimisation secondaire et de ses effets. Nous avons ainsi créé l’Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire in the Criminal Justice System (IBQ-CJS), un questionnaire que nous avons adapté et traduit en français à partir du Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire (IBQ) de Smith et Freyd (2013, 2017). L’IBQ-CJS a été employé auprès de 26 victimes (N = 26) impliquées dans des poursuites judiciaires et dont la cause avait été ou était présentement entendue devant une cour criminelle du Québec pour mesurer la victimisation secondaire. L’analyse des propriétés psychométriques de l’IBQ-CJS montre une bonne consistance interne (α = 0,82), alors que la validité de construit de l’instrument n’a pu être démontrée. L’IBQ-CJS a ensuite été employé pour explorer les facteurs de risque et les conséquences potentiellement associés à la victimisation secondaire, ce qui s’est avéré infructueux lors des analyses bivariées. Les limites et les avantages de cette étude, ainsi que les implications qui en découle pour de futures recherches, seront finalement soulignés. / Secondary victimisation occurs when crime victims are firstly harmed by the crime and suffer a second injury or an additional harm afterwards by the authorities of the criminal justice system. However, empirical studies conducted so far on the impact of the criminal justice system on victims are inconclusive. On this matter, the lack of a standardized measure for secondary victimisation has generated different operationalizations of this construct across studies, making it difficult to arrive to any generalizable conclusions regarding the results of past research. This study attempts to standardize this construct to give a better understanding of secondary victimisation and its effects. We created the Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire in the Criminal Justice System (IBQ-CJS), a questionnaire that we adapted and translated in French based on the Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire (IBQ) by Smith and Freyd (2013, 2017). The IBQ-CJS was employed among 26 victims (N = 26) who were involved in legal proceedings and whose causes were currently or had been heard in a criminal court of the province of Quebec to assess secondary victimisation. The analysis of the psychometric properties of the IBQ-CJS shows a high internal consistency (α = 0,82), although the construct validity of this instrument was inconclusive. The IBQ-CJS was secondly used to explore risk factors and consequences that might be linked to secondary victimisation, which also proved to be inconclusive using bivariate analysis. The limitations and the benefits of this study, as well as the implications it holds for future research, will finally be emphasized.

INTRODUCTION: Despite evidence showing that tinnitus can have a detrimental impact on significant others (SOs), no standardized self-reported measure is currently available that specifically assesses the presence of third-party disability for tinnitus. The aim of this study was to develop and assess the psychometric properties of a newly developed self-reported measure for SOs of tinnitus and assess how scores could be meaningfully interpreted. METHODS: The research consisted of two phases. During Phase I, the Consequences of Tinnitus on Significant Others Questionnaire (CTSOQ) was developed using the The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidance. Phase II included the assessment of psychometric properties of the CTSOQ including the construct validity, internal consistency, interpretability, and responsiveness. Pairs of 194 individuals with tinnitus and their SOs completed a series of online questionnaires. SOs completed the CTSOQ measure while individuals with tinnitus completed measures related to tinnitus distress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and quality of life. RESULTS: A 25 item CTSOQ was developed using a formative model. The questionnaire validation process indicated good psychometric properties with an internal consistency of 0.93 and inter-item correlation of 0.60. Support was found for the construct and discriminative validity of the measure. Floor and ceiling effects were negligible. Scores can be meaningfully interpreted to indicate mild, significant, or severe effect of tinnitus on SOs. The questionnaire was also found to be responsive to treatment-related changes. CONCLUSIONS: The CTSOQ was found to have sufficient measurement properties suggesting that it is a suitable measure of third-party disability for SOs of individuals with tinnitus. Further research should be initiated to measure face validity and what scores reflect clinically meaningful change.
