“…Both items seem to share additional variance to the latent construct and may be significant indicators of anxiety as a similar but different unit to the rest of the GAD-7 items. This does not suggest the transferability of the validity results of the GAD-2 from the GAD-7 in the present study, and it is necessary to avoid inferring its validity from our results with the GAD-7 in workers ( 36 , 37 ).…”

“…Although there are several psychometric studies around world [e.g., (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)], and at least 16 validation studies there is focus in various languages (including Spanish-speaking), in various specific samples and contexts (35) on the GAD-7, one cannot infer the validity of an instrument in a certain population by extracting validity information from other studies, for example from different cultures (36,37), because this does not guarantee that the induced parameters are exactly preserved. Therefore, it is imperative to examine the psychometric properties of the GAD-7 in samples other than the clinical and general population, since the GAD-7 is being frequently used in the work context in Puerto Rico (e.g., (12,13,38)).…”

“…In this sense, the present validity study does not mean inducing the properties of the GAD-7 from the first Puerto Rican study ( 39 ), but rather evaluating the psychometric properties of the GAD-7 with new tools. In this way, the validation of the GAD-7 in an infrequently represented population (i.e., a labor group in its own workplace, with relative homogeneity) avoids inducing validity evidence obtained from different samples in the studies ( 36 , 37 ).…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the GAD-7 by obtaining evidence of internal structure (dimensionality, precision and differential functioning of items) and association with external variables.MethodsA total of 2,219 protocols from three different studies conducted with Puerto Rican employees that administered the GAD-7 were selected for the current study. Item response theory modeling was used to assess internal structure, and linear association with external variables.ResultsThe items were adapted to a graduated response model, with high similarity in the discrimination and location parameters, as well as in the precision at the level of the items and in the total score. No violation of local independence and differential item functioning was detected. The association with convergent (work-related rumination) and divergent (work engagement, sex, and age) variables were theoretically consistent.ConclusionThe GAD-7 is a psychometrically robust tool for detecting individual variability in symptoms of anxiety in workers.

“…Another point that stands out from the brief systematic review of the WRRS is that in the studies that did not use SEM, they presumed that the WRRS was a valid instrument without examining it with their sample. This tends to be a bad practice widely used in psychological studies, which has been pointed out by some authors ( Merino-Soto and Calderón-De la Cruz, 2018 ; Merino-Soto and Angulo-Ramos, 2020 , 2021 ) in the literature indicating that researchers ARe inducing the validity of the instrument, which is called as measurement validity induction.…”

Background: The aim of the current study was to examine the internal structure and assess the psychometric properties of the Work-Related Rumination Scale (WRRS) – Spanish version in a Puerto Rican sample of workers. This instrument is a 15-item questionnaire, which has three factors, affective rumination, problem-solving pondering, and detachment. This measure is used in the occupational health psychology context; however, there is little evidence of its psychometric properties.Materials and Methods: A total sample of 4,100 from five different study samples was used in this cross-sectional study design in which the WRRS was used. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) to examine the internal structure of the Work-Related Rumination Scale. Measurement invariance across sex and age was examined.Results: The three-factor model was supported; however, four items were eliminated due to their cross-loadings and factorial complexity. This 11-item Spanish version of the WRRS was invariant across sex and age. Reliability of the three-factors of WRRS were within the range of 0.74 to 0.87 using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega. Correlations between the three factors were as expected as well as with other established measures.Conclusion: The results suggest that the WRRS-Spanish version appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure work-related rumination using its three factors. Comparison across sex and age appear to be useful in occupational health psychology research setting since results suggest that the WRRS is invariant regarding those variables.

“…Finally, the association between the two constructs measured by SRQ-L (autonomy and control) varied between the compared semester groups, indicating a possible evolution of these constructs aligned with their dependency. Although these results point to a more complete and optimal psychometric characterization of SRQ-L, the possible intercultural variability should be evaluated and avoided inducing its validity from one or more studies [86][87][88].…”

Given the theoretical and applied importance of self-regulation in learning, our study aimed to report the internal structure of the psychometric properties of the Learning Self-Regulation Questionnaire. Five hundred and ninety-six Peruvian university students participated in their first to tenth semesters on campuses in Lima, Trujillo, and Cajamarca. Nonparametric scalability, dimensionality, reliability (score and item levels), and latent invariance were analyzed. The results showed that reducing the number of response options was necessary. Reducing the number of items also produced better scaling. Two slightly related dimensions were strong internal validity and acceptable item reliability; furthermore, reliability was adequate. Age and gender had trivial correlations in item variability. Finally, differences between the semesters were obtained in the means, variances, and latent correlations. In conclusion, we propose a better definition of the constructs of autonomy and control measured by the SRQ-L. This article also discusses the limitations and implications of the study.
