Psychometric properties of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale-Second Edition in Peruvian students.

Resumen

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Ansiedad Manifiesta en Niños Revisada, Segunda Edición (CMASR-2), en estudiantes peruanos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 472 participantes con edades entre 7 y 18 años, siendo 250 mujeres (53%). Asimismo, 191 pertenecían del tercero al sexto grado de primaria (40.5%) y 281 cursaban del primero al quinto grado de secundaria (59.5%). Los resultados del estudio indicaron que las puntuaciones en el CMASR-2 presentan adecuados niveles de fiabilidad para todas sus dimensiones (alfa ordinal > .70). Por otro lado, se encontró una estructura de cuatro factores (Ansiedad fisiológica, Inquietud/Ansiedad social, Defensividad I y Defensividad II) que se mantuvo invariante al sexo y nivel de escolaridad. Además, se aportaron evidencias de validez discriminante y convergente. Finalmente, el análisis de medias latentes encontró una diferencia moderada en Defensividad II según el nivel de escolaridad. A partir de los resultados, se concluyó que, las puntuaciones en el CMASR-2 cuentan con evidencias de fiabilidad, validez y equidad para su uso en estudiantes peruanos de educación básica regular.
