Abstract

LARZABAL-FERNANDEZ, Aitor  and  RAMOS-NOBOA, Maria Isabel. PROPIEDADES PSICOMÉTRICAS DE LA ESCALA DE ESTRÉS PERCIBIDO (PSS-14) EN ESTUDIANTES DE BACHILLERATO DE LA PROVINCIA DE TUNGURAHUA (ECUADOR). Ajayu [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.269-282. ISSN 2077-2161.

In this research are analyzed the psychometric properties of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) in a sample of 1002 high school students from the province of Tungurahua (Ecuador). To do this, internal consistency is analyzed and an exploratory factor analysis (AFE) is carried out. It is concluded that the tool has good psychometric properties in the study population. It is also concluded that the scale shows two differentiated factors and that the internal consistency of each factor increases considerably, findings that agree with numerous investigations throughout the world. Finally, and as has been found in other studies, item 12 shows problems.

Keywords : Psychometric properties; Students; Ecuador.
