Factorial composition of the Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (APE) in Mexican university students

The present study aims to investigate whether the psychometric results proposed by Goñi, Madariaga, Axpe & Goñi (2011) for the Personal Self-concept Questionnaire (APE, from its Spanish initials) are replicated. The total sample was 1485 Mexican university students, with an average age of 20.55 years (SD = 1.86). The factorial structure of the questionnaire was analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The analyses show that a three-factor structure is feasible and appropriate. The structure of three factors (self-realization, autonomy, and emotional adjustment), based on statistical and substantive criteria, has shown adequate adjustment indicators of reliability and validity. However, the obtained model does not match the one proposed by Goñi et al. (2011). Future research should replicate these findings in larger samples.

Factorial composition of the Dimensional Self-Concept Questionnaire AUDIM-M in Mexican university students

Introducción: El presente estudio pretende indagar si se replican los resultados psicométricos propuestos por Revuelta, Rodríguez, Ruiz de Azúa y Ramos (2015) para el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Dimensional (AUDIM).Método: La muestra total fue de 1518 universitarios mexicanos, con una edad media de 20.56 años (DE=1.88). La estructura factorial del cuestionario se analizó a través de análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios.Resultados: Los análisis muestran que una estructura cuatro factores es viable y adecuada.Discusión o Conclusión: La estructura de cuatro factores (autoconcepto personal, autoconcepto físico, autoconcepto social y autoconcepto académico), atendiendo a criterios estadísticos y sustantivos, ha mostrado adecuados indicadores de ajuste de fiabilidad y validez. Sin embargo el modelo obtenido no coincide con el plateado por Revuelta et al. (2015). Futuras investigaciones deberían replicar estos hallazgos en muestras más amplias.

Factorial Composition of the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being (Qewb) in Mexican University Students

The present study aims to provide empirical support for the factorial division Questionnaire adapted by Schutte et al. (2013) in a sample of women and men Mexicans adults. The total sample was of 1477 Mexican university students; 774 women and 703 men. The age ranged between 18 and 28 years (mean = 20.67 ± 1.90 years). The factorial structure of the questionnaire was analyzed by 1) Exploratory factor analysis and 2) confirmatory factor analysis and factorial invariance. The factors of both subsamples showed adequate reliability and high congruence between pairs of factors, particularly considering the small number of items in each, resulting in a fully confirmatory model. However, the model obtained does not match fully with that proposed by Schutte et al. (2013).

Factorial Composition of a General Self-Efficacy Scale in Mexican University Students

The present study aims to investigate whether the psychometric results proposed by (Sanjuan, Perez, & Bermúdez, 2000) for general selfefficacy scale replicate. The total sample was of 282 subjects; 142 women and 140 men, college students from the city of La Paz Baja California Sur Mexico, with an mean age of 20.3 years (SD = 1.6) for women and 20.9 years (SD = 1.6) for men. The factorial structure of the questionnaire was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis. The analysis shows a feasible and appropriate factor structure. The structure of a one factor, based on statistical and substantive criteria, has shown adequate fit indicators of reliability and validity. In addition, the factor obtained a Cronbach´s alpha coefficient of .914. Future research should replicate these findings in larger samples.

Reliability and Validity of the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool Questionnaire (Greek Version)

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET). Methods: The translated questionnaire was distributed to 250 nurses and 150 student nurses. Internal consistency was determined and convergent validity was examined. The structure of the questionnaire was investigated using factor analysis. Results: The internal consistency coefficient for all subscales was acceptable and more than .70. Cronbach's alpha was .91 for affective and self-awareness subscales and .85 for recognition and advocation. Six factors were revealed with eigenvalues of more than 1 and accounted for 60% of the total variance. Conclusions: The factorial composition of the TSET continues to be consistent with the underlying theoretical framework and the related literature. The Greek version of TSET was found to possess good reliability and validity.
