Students’ expectations for learning scientific research
This study examines undergraduate students’ expectations for learning scientific research, a topic often marked by challenges in engagement during academic training. Using a qualitative design grounded in a constructivist paradigm and a phenomenological–hermeneutic approach, we explored the expectations of students enrolled in an education program at a private university in Lima, Peru. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participan…
Academic Procrastination Scale-Short (APS-S)
Academic procrastination is a common self-regulatory failure among university students, negatively affecting academic performance and psychological well-being. Despite its relevance, there is a lack of validated tools to assess this construct in Central American contexts. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Academic Procrastination Scale – Short (APS-S) in Honduran undergraduate students. A total of 791 university students par…
Simulators as an Innovative Strategy in the Teaching of Physics in Higher Education
The effectiveness of the use of PhET educational simulators as didactic tools in the teaching of physics concepts was evaluated, comparing their effects on motivation and self-efficacy in engineering students when performing traditional laboratory practices since their impact on STEM disciplines, commitment, and understanding are crucial for academic success. The sample consisted of 236 first-year students divided into an experimental group using…
Explanatory Model of Job Satisfaction in Teachers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to continue teaching their classes remotely, without prior preparation, in social isolation, and with difficulty in disconnecting digitally, in the face of high work demands and in a context of uncertainty. Given this scenario, the need arose to determine the validity of an explanatory model of job satisfaction in Peruvian teachers. We worked with a cross-sectional explanatory design of latent variables and a…
Brief resilience scale (BRS) in a sample of Indian college students
The results suggest that the BRS factor structure and its measurement invariance align with previous literature. However, the current sample showed no association with theoretically linked variables. As a result, its use should be limited to contexts where rigorous psychometric testing has been conducted to ensure its suitability for Indian college students. Furthermore, most prior studies have relied on Pearson correlations to assess association…

Occupational self-efficacy scale
Occupational self-efficacy has gained attention because of its importance in understanding the effects of psychosocial factors at work, but because of its relevance, it is necessary to study it in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Occupational Self-Efficacy Short Scale Form (OSS-SF) is a measure of individual variability in self-efficacy within the work context and has been used in some studies in Latin America. The aim of this study was …

Psychometric Validity of the Areas of Work Life Scale (AWS) in Teachers and Healthcare Workers in México
The areas of work life scale (AWS) has shown to be a suitable marker of perceived fit between employees’ abilities and the psychosocial demands of the job, but validation studies are practically nonexistent in the Latino population. The purpose of this study was twofold: firstly, to examine the factor structure, reliability, and invariance between sex and occupation of the AWS scale, and secondly, to test the AWS–burnout relationship within the f…
A Scoping Review of Educational Interventions to Increase Prosociality against Gender-Based Violence in University Bystanders
Gender-based violence represents a problem of public interest with a high prevalence on university campuses, which has intensified the preventive strategy for potential victims. However, the prosocial action of the viewer provides a promising alternative to mitigate its incidence. This study analyzes preventive interventions based on gender-based violence towards university viewers as a basis for future proven and sensitive implementation process…

Internal Structure of the Work–Family Conflict Questionnaire (WFCQ) in Teacher Teleworking
The interference between family and work roles has led to the development of scales for their measurement. However, instrumental studies of work-family conflict have not been conducted in the context of teacher teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the objectives of this study were set to obtain evidence of the internal structure and fairness of the Blanch and Aluja Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire, as well as its associati…
Effects of Anonymity versus Examinee Name on a Measure of Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
There is evidence in the literature that anonymity when investigating individual variables could increase the objectivity of the measurement of some psychosocial constructs. However, there is a significant gap in the literature on the theoretical and methodological usefulness of simultaneously assessing the same measurement instrument across two groups, with one group remaining anonymous and a second group revealing identities using names. Theref…
Item-Level Psychometric Analysis of the Psychosocial Processes at Work Scale (PROPSIT) in Workers
The structural attributes and correlates of items have an effect on their composite scores and exploring them strengthens the content validity of a measure adapted to another context. The objective of this study was to evaluate the item properties of a measure of psychosocial work factors (PWFs). Data were collected through a web platform from 188 Peruvian working adults (men = 101, 50.5%) holding various professions and jobs. The instrument was …
Ultrashort Version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Uwes-3)
The objective was to determine the validity of the UWES-3, an ultrashort measure of work engagement lacking evidence in Hispanic populations. In total, 200 workers with heterogeneous positions and careers from Metropolitan Lima were enrolled via nonprobabilistic sampling. The UWES-3 and measures of external variables (work accidents, stress overload, and others) were used. Data were collected through a web platform. Items were analysed, nonparame…

Test Gestáltico de Bender – Modificado y VMI
Se evaluó la validez incremental de dos medidas de visomotricidad en relación a una medida de habilidad intelectual no verbal. Este aspecto no ha sido frecuentemente examinado en las investigaciones sobre estos constructos. Se usó el Test Gestáltico de Bender Modificado (TGBM), la Prueba de Integración Visomotora 4ta edición (VMI-4) y el DAP: IQ en 154 niños entre 4 y 8 años de dos colegios públicos. Se aplicó la regresión múltiple jerárquica de …
Estructura interna del Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) en una muestra de sacerdotes y religiosas católicas peruanos
OBJETIVO: Dado que aparentemente no hay estudios científicos peruanos que lo describan la experiencia del burnout en sacerdotes peruanos formalmente vinculados al clero, así como en religiosas consagradas pertenecientes a una congregación, los objetivos del presente estudio fueron evaluar la estructura interna del MBI (una medida conocida de burnout), y explorar sus correlatos demográficos y con estudios previos realizados en Perú. METODO: fueron…

Content Validity of a Scale Designed to Measure the Access of Older Adults to Outpatient Health Services
The objective of this work was to validate the content of a scale formulated in Spanish for older adults in Mexico, with the aim of comprehensively measuring the access of this population group to outpatient primary-care services. To this end, we carried out a methodological content-validity study in four stages: (1) construction of the scale; (2) evaluation of item legibility; (3) quantitative content evaluation by two groups of judges selected …
A New Story on the Multidimensionality of the MSPSS
The internal structure of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) in adolescents has been evaluated with some factorial analysis methodologies but not with bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and possibly the inconsistency in the internal structure was dependent on these approaches. The objective of the study was to update evidence regarding its internal structure of MSPSS, by means of a detailed exami…
Parametric and Nonparametric Analysis of the Internal Structure of the Psychosocial Work Processes Questionnaire (PROPSIT) as Applied to Workers
The study of the dimensionality or internal structure of a measure has a definitional purpose with notable theoretical and practical implications; this aspect can be analyzed via both parametric and nonparametric approaches. The latter are probably used less often to validate constructs in the context of psychosocial work factors. The aim of the present manuscript was to employ both nonparametric (DETECT and AISP-Mokken) and parametric (semiconfi…
