Item type:Publication, Development and validation of the theory-driven School Resilience Scale for Adults: Preliminary results(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)Resilience is the ability of an individual or community to adapt to life challenges or adversities while maintaining mental health and well-being. In the multi-systemic resilience paradigm, human development and resilience is embedded in adaptive systems and in their interactions. Although the relationship between school systems and adolescents' mental wellbeing is established, there is no agreement on how to recognize and evaluate the most relevant aspects of the school community, acting at collective level, to boost positive socio-emotional and educational outcomes in children and adolescents. This study presents the development and preliminary validation of a new and theory-driven construct and instrument, the School Resilience Scale for Adults (SRS). School Resilience comprises five interrelated constructs (i.e. Positive relationships, Belonging, Inclusion, Participation, and Mental health awareness) connected theoretically to wellbeing and resilience in children and adolescents. The scale development was theory-driven, and the instrument was tested in four European counties in the frame of the UPRIGHT project (Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers). Overall, 340 adults participated, 129 teachers and school staff, and 211 relatives of teenagers. The sample was randomly split for two studies: (1) an Exploratory Factor analysis (ESEM), and (2) Confirmatory Factor (CFA) analysis. In the exploratory analysis, Chi-Square difference test and model fit indices point towards the five-factor solution over a three-factor solution. The confirmatory study indicated that a five-factor model (RMSEA = 0.038, CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95, SRMR = 0.045) was slightly better than a second-order model (RMSEA = 0.046, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.05). Convergent and discriminant validities were partially demonstrated. Alpha and omega reliability coefficients verified the measurement model of the scale. The results confirmed that a multidimensional construct of School Resilience, defined as a collective resilience factor, embedded in the school staff, family members, and adolescents’ interrelated systems can be characterized and measured. Further studies must determine its role in the promotion of adolescents' resilience, mental wellbeing, educational outcomes, and in their positive adaptation in challenging contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The effect of family supportive supervisor behaviors and work-family culture on turnover intention and work-family conflict(Growing Science, 2021-01-01)The of this research was to look into the work-life interface of professionals in a de-manding and high-risk occupation in an organization in the security sector. Specifically, it focuses on the interaction between supervisor behaviors and culture with turnover intention and work-family conflict. The present study centers on data from a public security organization (3861) in a Latin American country. The validity of the measuring instruments was evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was then applied to evaluate the relationship between variables. Results found show a statistically significant negative impact of the supervisor behaviors in organizational (turnover intention) and individual outcomes (work-family conflict). At the same time, organizational culture negatively affects turnover intentions and work-family conflict. While confirming results coming from the private sector in other countries, the importance of supervisor behaviors and culture provides implications for work and family practices in this type of organization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Bringing managers closer to papers: measuring the relevance of business and management research(Taylor & Francis, 2021-12-14)This study aims to validate a data collection tool’s psychometric properties to explore whether business management research’s relevance is a high-order construct made up of its perceived interest and perceived relevance. The authors conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to validate a two-factor scale. The sample was composed of 148 MBA students from a Peruvian business school. Results showed the appropriate levels of validity and reliability and confirmed the usefulness of this data set for exploring the relationship between perceived interest and relevance. Businesses and schools can replicate the validated tool for reviewing their curricula and teaching practices, exploring the gap between business and management research results and advancing managers’ research literacy and evidence-based practice in business education and training. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric evaluation of the Brief-COPE Inventory and exploration of factors associated with perceived stress among Peruvian nurses(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-09-01)This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Brief-COPE Inventory and to determine its concurrent validity by examining its association with perceived stress among Peruvian nurses. Methods: A psychometric study was conducted with 434 Peruvian nurses to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brief-COPE Inventory through confirmatory factor analysis. Three stepwise variable selection regression models were implemented. Results: The three-factor model of the Brief-COPE Inventory demonstrated adequate fit indices (root mean square error of approximation = 0.052, standardized root mean square residual = 0.068, and both the comparative fit index and the Tucker–Lewis index = 0.95). Additionally, the factors were significantly correlated (p < 0.001), and the reliability was adequate (ω = 0.90). Nurses reported a medium level of perceived stress, with associated factors including having received stress management training, fear of COVID-19, and problem-focused coping strategies (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study confirms that the Brief-COPE Inventory is a valid tool for measuring coping strategies among Peruvian nurses due to its good model fit, excellent reliability, and concurrent validity with perceived stress. However, further research is needed to assess its validity in the specific areas of performance perceived by nursing professionals. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Validity of the Engagement to Academic Tasks Questionnaire in Peruvian college students(Universidad Catolica del Uruguay, 2023-01-01)Students’ interest and involvement of students in their e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a little-studied reality. The manifestation of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral involvement has been particularly different in recent years, so having instruments that allow it to be done is necessary for educational research. Therefore, it was sought to adapt and validate an engagement instrument that allows measuring the involvement of students during the pandemic. For this, an engagement questionnaire was applied to 297 university students. The results indicate that the original factorial structure of the model is maintained when adapting to education in a virtual context. Likewise, it was possible to identify that there were no differences in the model according to the gender of the participant, which corroborates a factorial invariance of the model. That is, it has been possible to adapt and validate a psychometric instrument that measures the engagement of students online. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric Properties of the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire in Peruvian Adolescents(Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica, 2023-01-01)Physical self-concept is an important health marker, since it predicts -mainly in adolescence- psychological health problems such as image anxiety, eating disorders, low self-esteem, dissatisfaction with life, among others. In this sense, having a physical self-concept measurement instrument with evidence of validity and reliability for a particular context is essential for the work of physical education, medical or related professionals. The aim of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the physical self-concept questionnaire (CAF) in Peruvian adolescents. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study in which 1314 schoolchildren (15.59±1.05) from Lima and Callao (54.5 % males and 45.5 % females) participated. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the structure of the original questionnaire showed inadequate fit indices, so the model had to be re-specified and a new structure proposed. After the respecification, a model of 22 items with the same number of factors (five) was found, a model that presented adequate adjustment indexes (2/gl=4.38, RMSEA= .05, SRMR= .05, GFI= .94, CFI= .92, TLI= .91). Regarding reliability, an adequate internal consistency was reported for the complete questionnaire (.86). In conclusion, the 22-item CAF model shows validity and reliability for adolescents in the Peruvian context. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Advertising and Eco-Labels as Influencers of Eco-Consumer Attitudes and Awareness: Case Study of Ecuador(2023-12-20)The present study identified the influence of green advertising and eco-labels on the attitude and environmental awareness of millennials who purchase ecological products in shopping centers in Ecuador. The research was quantitative, correlational and with a cross-sectional design. A total of 430 millennials participated in the study. A 20-question survey was applied in person outside the shopping centers of Quito and Guayaquil - Ecuador. The convergent and discriminant validity of the research model was verified using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Models (SEM). SPSS 20 and AMOS 24 programs were used for statistical analysis. The results show that green advertising influences environmental attitudes (β: 0,245) and awareness (β: 0,110) and specifically influences purchasing behaviour (β: 0,154) for green products. Although eco-labels do not directly influence purchasing behaviour (β: 0,128), they influence the attitudes (β: 0,406) and ecological awareness (β: 0,277) of millennials who buy organic products. This article is one of the first studies to identify the relationship between green advertising elements and green product purchasing behaviors among millennials in a developing country, concluding that marketing strategies based on green advertising and eco-labels have an impact on the attitude and environmental awareness of millennials, but only advertising directly affects purchasing behaviour while eco-labels do not. This research has social implications since it corroborates that millennials are concerned about environmental problems and are willing to contribute to sustainability. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Social impact of happiness on transformational leadership in students from Colombian universities(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)In the literature, it has been described that affective commitment and transformational leadership are directly related to occupational happiness. In this sense, the present study begins with the premise that subjective happiness may enhance the effectiveness of transformational leadership. For this purpose, the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) were applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 215 business administration students in Colombian universities. Bivariate correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were used to examine the relationship between the dimensions of happiness and the five leadership practices. The findings indicate that three happiness items correlate positively with transformational leadership practices, suggesting that happier individuals exhibit more effective leadership behaviors. The proposed theoretical model showed a good fit with the empirical data. In conclusion, promoting happiness in leaders not only improves their performance but also positively impacts organizational productivity.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric Validation of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale 10 in Peruvian Nurses and Its Association with Stress and Empathy(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-04-01)Background: This study aims to psychometrically validate the abbreviated version of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) in Peruvian nurses, evaluating its convergent validity through its association with perceived stress and empathy. Methods: A cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted in 374 Peruvian nurses to evaluate the psychometric properties of CD-RISC-10 through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, concurrent validity was assessed through correlational analysis using Spearman's rho coefficient to evaluate the relationships among resilience, perceived stress, and empathy. Results: The CFA supported the predominantly one-dimensional model showing an adequate fit when the residual covariance between Items 4 and 7 was specified after correlating the residuals of Items 4 and 7 (CFI = 0.978, TLI = 0.971, RMSEA = 0.080, and SRMR = 0.044). Ordinal Cronbach's alpha of 0.89 and McDonald's omega of 0.81 were obtained. Concurrent validity showed significant correlations with perceived stress (rho = −0.53, p < 0.001) and empathy (rho = 0.31, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The CD-RISC-10 has adequate psychometric properties in Peruvian nurses. Future studies are needed to evaluate its factorial invariance between clinical specialties and establish normative thresholds.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Psychometric properties of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA): a cross-cultural validation in a Chinese and a German-speaking Swiss sample(Springer Science+Business Media, 2026-04-01)Resilience refers to the ability to adapt and recover from adversity, influenced by intrapersonal and social factors. Given the prevalence of mental health problems, understanding and accurately measuring resilience in diverse populations has become a pressing priority in health and clinical psychology. The Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) is widely used to assess protective factors. Although several cross-cultural studies have supported the RSA's construct validity, evidence from Mainland China using confirmatory approaches and from the revised German version in Switzerland remains limited. This study therefore examined the RSA's psychometric properties in these two culturally distinct samples/contexts (China and Switzerland) by focusing on factor structure and construct validity. An online survey collected data from 798 Chinese workers and 1,114 Swiss university students. The psychometric properties of the RSA were evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), measurement invariance testing, and validity analyses. Convergent and incremental validity were examined using correlations, regressions, and structural equation modeling (SEM). CFA supported a six-factor solution in both samples. Convergent validity was confirmed through significant correlations with self-esteem, self-efficacy, satisfaction with life, depressive symptoms, stress, and burnout. After controlling for life satisfaction, RSA scores predicted additional variance in depressive symptoms (21% in China, 4% in Switzerland). In the Swiss sample, social competence, family cohesion, and social resources did not significantly predict depressive symptoms. The RSA is a valuable measure of protective resilience factors. However, generalizability is limited due to sample differences, which should be considered when interpreting the findings.1
