Abstract

JIMENEZ-DIAZ, Judith; MORERA-CASTRO, María  and  ARAYA-VARGAS, Gerardo. Content and reliability of the Spanish version for “The Self-perception Profile for Adults” in the educational field. sophia [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.73-83. ISSN 1794-8932.  https://doi.org/10.18634/sophiaj.14v.2i.828.

The objective of the present study was to examine the content validity and the reliability of the Spanish translation of the “Self-Perception Profile for Adults” scale. The translation of the instrument was carried out with the back-translation process, with experts in both languages (Spanish-English). The content validity index was adequate (CVR = 0.99). In relation to reliability, the final version was applied to a sample of 180 adults (average age = 19.6 ± 3.1 years); an adequate temporal consistency was found for the different domains (R = 0.557 - 0.855) and internal stability (α = 0.878). It is concluded that the translation provided a valid and reliable instrument, which can be used as an assessment tool of self-perception in areas such as education, health, sports and psychology, among others, in adult populations.

Keywords : Education, perception; psychometrics and health.
