Resumen
GOMEZ HERNANDEZ, Eduardo; CARRILLO RAMIREZ, Eduardo y PADROS BLAZQUEZ, Ferran. Psychometric properties of the Scale to measure the Enjoyment Experienced by Children and Adolescents) (SEECA) in Michoacan population (Mexico). Psicogente [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.43, pp.1-16. Epub 29-Dic-2019. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.23.43.3761.
Objective:
This paper aims to build a scale for enjoyment measuring in order to measure enjoyment experienced by children and adolescents and also, it aims to study this scale’s psychometric properties.
Method:
An instrumental approach is conducted in this study ; 487 high school students aged 11 to 15 years old were sampled, answering SEECA (scale to measure the enjoyment experienced by children and adolescents) ; along with this scale, PANAS-C (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) elaborated by Sandín (2003) and the Epidemiological Studies Center Scale of Depression CES-D of Radloff (1977) adapted to the Mexican population by Jiménez-Tapia, Wagner, Rivera-Heredia and González-Forteza (2015) were also applied to children and adolescents.
Results:
Suggest a uni-factorial structure according to an exploratory factor analysis. Based on Chronbach ‘s alpha’s value, the internal consistency , is determined in .650, acceptable taking into account that it has only 5 items, which showed adequate psychometric properties. Pearson’s correlation was made with other measurements, obtaining a low positive correlation with the positive affect’s scale (r = .368), and low negative correlations with negative affect (r =-.361) and depressive symptoms (r =-.179).
Conclusion:
SEECA, is a very useful instrument, since it may recognize the presence of anhedonia, which is associated with social and emotional dysfunction, and also as a psychopathology. The SEECA has adequate psychometric properties (construct validity, reliability and concurrent validity) to be administrated in Morelia’s city (Mexico).
