Abstract

ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es adaptar y validar la Escala de Apoyo Social Subjetivo (EASS, de Vaux et al., 1986), a la vez que describir su estructura factorial.Esta escala está compuesta por 10 ítems distribuidos en dos dimensiones: apoyo familiar y apoyo de los amigos.Se examinan las propiedades psicométricas de la escala y la dimensionalidad de la misma en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios chilenos (N = 681).Los resultados indican que el EASS constituye un instrumento fiable (α = .86)y válido para la medición del apoyo social subjetivo.Las dimensiones de la EASS obtienen entre sí una correlación significativa y moderada (r = .41;p < .001).Las cargas factoriales para los ítems en el análisis factorial confirmatorio fluctuaron entre .40y .93,mostrando buenos índices de ajuste para el modelo de dos factores de primer orden correlacionados (CFI = .97,TLI = .93,

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
