          Abstract

          El afecto o emoción como tema de investigación científica ha despertado un gran interés en los últimos años, sin embargo, en nuestro medio no se cuenta con instrumentos psicométricos que permitan una medición válida y confiable. El presente trabajo tuvo por objetivo realizar una adaptación psicométrica de la Escala de Afectividad Positiva y Negativa ([PANAS], Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988) a la población de adultos de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Los estudios de estructura interna sugieren la existencia de dos dimensiones subyacentes homogéneas (α= 0.73; α= 0.82) que explican un 39 % de la variabilidad de la prueba. Asimismo, los estudios de correlación ítem-total, de discriminación de ítem y de contrastación de grupos resultaron semejantes a los reportados por trabajos antecedentes. En conjunto, los resultados obtenidos son promisorios y avalan el uso del PANAS en el contexto cordobés.

          The affect or emotion as a topic of scientific investigation has been of great interest in recent years, however in our environment there are no psychometric instruments which allow a valid and reliable measurement. The object of this work was to create a psychometric adaptation of the Positive and Negative Affectivity Scale ([PANAS], Watson, Clark & Tellegen, 1988) for the adult population of the city of Cordoba, Argentina. The internal structure studies suggest the existence of two subjacent homogenous dimensions (α= 0.73; α= 0.82) which explain 39% of the variability of the test. Studies of the correlation item total, of item discrimination and contrasted groups resulted similar to those reported in previous works. Altogether, the results obtained are promising and support the use of PANAS in Cordoba.

          Best practices in exploratory factor analysis: four recommendations for getting the most from your analysis

          Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a complex, multi-step process. The goal of this paper is to collect, in one article, information that will allow researchers and practitioners to understand the various choices available through popular software packages, and to make decisions about “best practices” in exploratory factor analysis. In particular, this paper provides practical information on making decisions regarding (a) extraction, (b) rotation, (c) the number of factors to interpret, and (d) sample size.
