Support of the Dimensionality and Internal Consistency of the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale-2
The field of problematic Internet use (PIU) has seen significant academic interest in recent years. In the absence of a universally accepted definition of PIU, a multitude of scales have been developed to evaluate it. Notably, the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS-2), formulated on the cognitive-behavioral model by Caplan, emerges as a significant instrument in this domain. This research conducts a systematic review and meta-ana…
An analysis of the impact of the L1 on bilinguals' writing competence
The research fields of second language acquisition in general and L2 writing in particular have been dominated by studies in which English is the language under scrutiny. However, many different researchers have claimed that it is high time to consider languages other than English (LOTEs), since multilingualism is the norm rather than the exception all over the world. In particular, minority languages have been largely overlooked in the literatur…
The use of Psychometric Tests for Personality Assessment in Public Administration Personnel Selection Processes
The evaluation of non-cognitive variables, such as personality factors, is key in personnel selection processes in public administration, although its application presents certain challenges. This article addresses the need to ensure the validity of these processes by integrating the principles of transparency and publicity with best practices in the use of tests. Based on the report from the Test Commission of the General Council of the Spanish …
Minoritized language accreditation and equating. Some particularities
Among the specificities associated with the accreditation of linguistic competence in minoritized languages, one of the most distinctive is the characterization of the target population. In terms of diversity, test-takers come from the same geographical region, and most of them live in contact with the test language; in terms of quantity, there are fewer candidates than those assessed in L2 language around the world. These particularities have so…
Academic achievement in a language revitalisation context
We examined the influence of language and socioeconomic factors on academic achievement in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC): a multilingual society with a recent history of language revitalisation. We analysed scores obtained by Grade 4 and Grade 10 students on a diagnostic mathematics test administered in either Basque or Spanish in the BAC. We found that L1 Basque users who were of high socioeconomic status (SES) were the top performers ac…

Comisión de Test
"El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar las actividades y proyectos llevados a cabo por la Comisión de Test del Consejo General de Psicología de España para mejorar la calidad y el uso de los test. Se repasan los proyectos más relevantes de la comisión durante sus veinticinco años de existencia, describiendo los trabajos llevados a cabo para a) conocer las opiniones y actitudes de los psicólogos hacia los test, b) evaluar la calidad de los t…
Impacto de la TIC en el entorno evaluativo. Innovaciones al servicio de la mejora continua
"La tecnología digital ya forma parte de las prácticas relacionadas con el uso de test, y de la evaluación psicológica y educativa; la forma en que se diseñan test, se recogen datos, o los modelos para su análisis han evolucionado. Como consecuencia, nos enfrentemos a retos como la formación del profesional, la colaboración con otras áreas, la expansión del concepto de test, y la deliberación sobre cuestiones éticas y legales. En este entorno din…
Aplicación Remota De Test
"La necesidad de continuar ofreciendo servicios profesionales de evaluación en situaciones de pandemia ha favorecido la aplicación remota de test diseñados para un uso presencial. Esta práctica de tele-evaluación modifica las condiciones en las que el test fue construido, estandarizado y validado, y por consiguiente conviene que vaya acompañada de un análisis de sus potenciales riesgos. En este trabajo se describen las amenazas asociadas con el u…
Perfil dos Psicólogos Brasileiros que Utilizam Testes Psicológicos
O artigo teve como objetivo apresentar um levantamento sobre o perfil dos psicólogos brasileiros que utilizam testes psicológicos no que tange a sua(s) área(s) de atuação, ao uso que fazem dos instrumentos psicológicos em suas práticas e aos testes que utilizam com maior frequência no exercício profissional. Participaram do estudo 668 psicólogos, que exerciam a profissão, em média, a 14,06 anos (DP = 11,34). Os dados foram coletados em plataforma…
Performance factors and immigration. Impact of individual and school variables / Factores de rendimiento e inmigración. Impacto de variables individuales y escolares
The way schools address migratory movements has a direct impact on integration and social cohesion, making the in-depth study of factors that affect the lower performance of immigrant students in comparison with non-immigrants essential. Using a methodology based on random coefficient models, this paper analyses the differential effect of individual level and school level variables on the estimation of mathematical competence in non-immigrant and…
Educational assessment issues in linguistically diverse contexts
Fair educational assessment in linguistically diverse contexts poses new challenges which call for the need to evaluate the impact of context-related language factors on student performance. Based on data from the Basque Autonomous Community in Spain, this research analyses the effect of different factors on a mathematics achievement test. Using generalised linear mixed models, the results explain differences in achievement among student groups b…
Language competence assessment in minoritised language revitalisation contexts. The case of Basque
In minority language revitalisation contexts, the determination of proficiency in the minoritised language is a sensitive social issue that affects citizens regardless of their linguistic background. From a psychometric perspective, since the target population is heterogeneous, competence assessment instruments must ensure score validity for each linguistic subgroup. Focused on the Basque Autonomous Community (Spain), in this paper, we introduce …
Avances, proyectos y retos internacionales ligados al uso de tests en Psicología
El desarrollo de la psicometría y la normalización de la práctica profesional de la Psicología delimitan un espacio marcado por la importancia atribuida al uso correcto de los tests. En entornos sociales y científicos caracterizados por actitudes positivas hacia el uso de tests, disponibilidad de tests de calidad, regulación de la práctica profesional y colaboración internacional, se constituyen las asociaciones de tests nacionales e internaciona…
Socioeconomic patterns and educational performance based on language-of-instruction models in the Basque Autonomous Community
One of the focuses of language revitalisation policies is to incorporate minority languages into education. Evaluation of new language-of-instruction models is usually based on the increase of minority language speakers. However, it is also important from an educational perspective to study the possible relationship between performance and significant variables such as economic and cultural status (ESCS) or language background. In the context of …
Minority language revitalization and educational assessment
In contexts of minority language revitalization, educational assessment should consider the effect of language-related factors on performance. Student score comparisons might be unfair if assessment does not take into account the student's language background, language of instruction or the level of minority language standardization. Including language-related variables in assessment may improve validity, reduce sociolinguistic bias, and make it …
Directrices para la traducción y adaptación de los tests
BACKGROUND: Adapting tests across cultures is a common practice that has increased in all evaluation areas in recent years. We live in an increasingly multicultural and multilingual world in which the tests are used to support decision-making in the educational, clinical, organizational and other areas, so the adaptation of tests becomes a necessity. The main goal of this paper is to present the second edition of the guidelines of the Internation…
