Attachment Style Classification Questionnaire for latency age: Psychometrics properties of Argentine Sample

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to perform a psychometric study of the Attachment Style Classification Questionnaire (ASCQ) in Spanish language. This paper included three studies. The objectives of study 1 were to analyze the discriminative power of items, to carry out an EFA to determine the structure of the questionnaire, and to calculate the internal consistency of factors. The objectives of study 2 were to test the questionnaire structure through a CFA, and to determine if the model obtained was invariant between sex and age. The objective of Study 3 was to study the convergent validity. The three studies were carried out with three different samples of 180, 200, and 425 Argentinian children, aged 9 to 12 years, respectively. The results confirm the three factor structure of the adapted questionnaire, showing good psychometric properties (satisfactory internal consistency and adequate validity).

Se trata de un instrumento de autorreporte que puede aplicarse a niños desde los 7 años de edad, e incluye 12 ítems con cinco opciones de respuesta (desde "Para nada verdadero" hasta "Muy verdadero").…”

“…Se trata de un instrumento de autorreporte que puede aplicarse a niños desde los 7 años de edad, e incluye 12 ítems con cinco opciones de respuesta (desde "Para nada verdadero" hasta "Muy verdadero"). Los ítems se agrupan factorialmente en tres dimensiones: apego seguro (4 ítems; ω = .73), apego ansioso/ambivalente (4 ítems; ω = .87) y apego evitativo (4 ítems; ω = .71) (Richaud et al, 2019). En el presente estudio, los valores de consistencia interna resultaron aceptables para las tres dimensiones (ω = .69; ω = .67 y ω = .64, respectivamente).…”

Un nuevo cuestionario de empatía multidimensional en español para adolescentes tempranos y medios

“…In effect, there is plenty of evidence confirming that empathy plays a very important role in the development of prosociability and its counterpart, aggressiveness, in adolescence. Thus, it has been shown that it is especially related to attachment, prosocial and aggressive behaviors and bullying, among others (see Ang & Goh, 2010;Batanova & Loukas, 2014;Caravita et al, 2009;Espelage & Holt, 2001;Gini et al, 2007;Nickerson et al, 2008;Richaud & Mesurado, 2016;Richaud et al, 2019;Richaud de Minzi, 2013;Van Noorden et al, 2015;Wölfer et al, 2012).…”
