Police Officers’ Perspectives when Handling Intimate Partner Violence against Women Cases
Purpose Attitudes toward intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are a key predictor of police officers’ experiences and approaches to handling IPVAW incidents. While individual studies have attempted to conceptualize and assess police attitudes, a comprehensive theoretical framework—grounded in officers’ own beliefs and emotions and supported by a robust mixed-methods approach for accurate data integration—remains lacking, particularly i…
Ninth review of tests published in Spain
La Comisión Nacional de Test, perteneciente al Consejo General de la Psicología de España, elabora anualmente \nuna evaluación de los test editados en España. Para ello, en esta edición, se han involucrado tanto la Comisión \ncomo diferentes casas editoriales (TEA Hogrefe, Pearson Educación, GiuntiEOS y CEPE) y doce evaluadores (seis \nespecialistas en la materia sustantiva y seis en Psicometría). La evaluación realizada se basa en el modelo euro…
Public Helping Reactions to Intimate Partner Violence against Women in European Countries
Public helping reactions are essential to reduce a victim's secondary victimization in intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) cases. Because gender-related characteristics have been linked widely to IPVAW prevalence, the study aimed to examine individual attitudes and perceptions toward different forms of violence against women, as well as gender-related macrosocial ideological and structural factors, in explaining helping reactions to I…
Using reversed items in Likert scales
BACKGROUND: The use of positively worded items and reversed forms aims to reduce response bias and is a commonly used practice nowadays. The main goal of this research is to analyze the psychometric implications of the use of positive and reversed items in measurement instruments. METHOD: A sample of 374 participants was tested aged between 18 and 73 (M=33.98; SD=14.12), 62.60% were women. A repeated measures design was used, evaluating the parti…
Bayesian Estimation of the Prevalence of Suicide Risk in Institutionalized Older People
The assessment of suicide risk in institutionalized older people has received less attention in comparison with those not institutionalized. The studies carried out show contradictory data on the prevalence of risk in this population group. The current work estimates the prevalence of suicide risk through a Bayesian analysis and studies the risk factors of this behavior in a group of 110 institutionalized older people. A prevalence of 38.4% is ob…
Effect of the Number of Response Categories on the Reliability and Validity of Rating Scales
The Likert-type format is one of the most widely used in all types of scales in the field of social sciences. Nevertheless, there is no definitive agreement on the number of response categories that optimizes the psychometric properties of the scales. The aim of the present work is to determine in a systematic fashion the number of response alternatives that maximizes the fundamental psychometric properties of a scale: reliability and validity. T…
Death Anxiety in Institutionalized and Non-Institutionalized Elderly People in Spain
To know the level of death anxiety using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) (1970) (Ramos's Spanish adaptation, 1982)) we chose subjects older than 65 years (N = 227) to study, on one hand, the existing relation between cognitive-affective reactions toward death and the perception of the passing of time and, on the other, a group of variables which include the place of residence, age, gender, life reflection, health disorders, psychological pr…
