The use of scales to assess the performance of professors from the students' standpoint is a generalized practice in higher education systems worldwide. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factorial structure and measure the invariance of the Scale of Teaching Performance of the Psychology Professor (EDDPsic) among groups according to gender, age, and academic stage. The sample of participants was composed of 316 Psychology students from the fourth and sixth semesters (basic cycles), and from the eighth and tenth semesters (disciplinary-professional cycles) of two renowned public universities in Lima, Peru. Two hundred and thirty-one participants were women (73%), and the mean age of students was 21.5 years old (SD = 2.37). The measurement invariance of the scale in the three study variables was underpinned by a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) conducted using a five-factor model that showed the best fitness indices. It is concluded that significant differences in measuring teaching performance areas of the professor depend on the students' age difference and on their academic stage (to attend the disciplinary-professional cycles).
La agresión sexual es un problema psicosocial muy poco reconocido debido a los mitos a su alrededor, graduados y mediatizados por la cultura del grupo social (Caballero, 2006). En el presente estudio se asume la agresión sexual como la base para todo tipo de violencia de tipo sexual. Se realizaron dos estudios, el primero valida la escala AMMSA, en versión mexicana, originalmente desarrollada en Alemania (Gerger, Kley, Bohner, & Siebler, 2007); el segundo, determina el grado de aceptación de los mitos de agresión sexual en estudiantes universitarios del Norte de México. La muestra no probabilística fue de 128 y 400 estudiantes para cada estudio, respectivamente. Los resultados del primer estudio indican una consistencia interna de la versión mexicana del AMMSA (α = .93), concordantes con los resultados de la prueba original (α entre .90 y .95); y la externa, presenta una correlación positiva alta y significativa con la versión mexicana del Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente (r = .68, p < .001), demostrando propiedades psicométricas adecuadas. Se encontró mayor aceptación de los mitos de agresión sexual entre los hombres en comparación a las mujeres, y el menor grado de aceptación de estos en la Facultad de Medicina y Psicología.
Resumen: El propósito del presente estudio es medir la actitud hacia la cooperación tecno-científica entre Instituciones de Educación Superior y Empresas del Sector Productivo de profesores-investigadores, así como analizar las diferencias por sexo, edad, y nivel en el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores. Se utilizó una muestra no aleatoria por conveniencia de 182 p-i (50 mujeres y 132 hombres) quienes contestaron el Cuestionario para medir la percepción de la cooperación tecno-científica entre las Instituciones de Educación Superior y el Sector Productivo. Entre los hallazgos, se destacan valores de diferencia no significativa (p > .05), y tamaño de efecto chico (η 2 = .01) entre los grupos.
The primary objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Inventory for the Identification and Analysis of Psychosocial Risk Factors (IIA-PRF) of Reference Guide III proposed in NOM-035-STPS-2018. A total of 2,149 workers in Baja California, Mexico’s industrial and education-government sectors, were administered an online inventory version. Preliminary analyses were performed, as well as a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) based on two models proposed by the standard itself: an eight-factor model (8-FM) and a four-factor model (4-FM). Likewise, based on the results and with the recommendations of the specialists, a threefactor model (3-FM) was proposed. In addition, nested model sequencing methods were subsequently applied to validate the invariance between the origin of the activity. The dimensionality of 3-FM was found to have adequate fit values according to a-priori established criteria. It is concluded that the IIAPRF does not have the reliability and validity parameters necessary to support interpretations, uses and consequences based on the theoretical structure established by NOM-035-STPS-2018 and that, although the 3-FM presents better reliability and validity indices, it is not invariant in terms of the origin of the activity. Finally, we discuss the implications and recommend reviewing and adjusting the design of the IIAPRF items to extend the measurement of invariance to other groups of relevance for decision making in the improvement of the work environment.
El propósito del estudio es explorar y caracterizar la percepción de profesores investigadores (p-i) ante la cooperación tecnocientífica entre instituciones de educación superior (IES) y el sector productivo (SP) del noroeste de México. Se analizaron las respuestas de 182 investigadores (132 hombres y 50 mujeres) ante los ítems de la escala para medir la percepción de la cooperación tecnocientífica entre las IES y el SP (EA-COOPTEC v0.1). Los resultados denotan que los p-i presentan una percepción positiva hacia la cooperación tecnocientífica. En conclusión, los p-i que presentan una actitud favorable ante la cooperación tecnocientífica, a partir de las variables de estudio, son: a) las mujeres; b) aquéllos con 35 años o menos; c) los candidatos al Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI); d) los que pertenecen a las áreas de biotecnología y ciencias agropecuarias; y e) los que tienen de 10 a 14 años de experiencia en colaboración con el entorno.
