Exploring the Factorial Structure of the Self-Concept
Keyword(s):
The factorial structure of a self-concept scale (Autoconcepto Forma 5) was analyzed as a function of gender and the language used for its completion: Basque and Spanish. The analyses were performed sequentially starting with confirmatory factor analysis, followed by multiple-group, multiple-indicator analysis, and mean and covariance structure analysis. The five-dimensional structure of the scale (academic, social, emotional, family-related, and physical self-concept) was supported by the progressive factorial invariance analysis. It was concluded that there was partial measurement invariance and that differences across groups were derived from the latent mean values.
