Abstract
El artículo describe un análisis psicométrico de la Escala de Timidez Revisada de Check, y Buss, integrada por 11 ítems de tipo likert con cinco alternativas. La escala se administró a 385 estudiantes, hombres y mujeres, de 16 a 25 años de edad de universidades privadas y nacionales de Lima. El análisis de correlación ítem-test encontró asociaciones altamente significativas (p<.001) para cada uno de los reactivos, indicando que los reactivos evalúan indicadores de un mismo constructo. La Escala de Timidez presenta elevada consistencia interna (a de Cronbach=.842). La validez de constructo se estableció mediante Análisis Factorial, en donde mediante el análisis de componentes principales y la rotación ortogonal (Varimax) extrajeron dos factores identificados como: 1. Inadecuación de relaciones interpersonales y 2. Evitación de contacto social.
The article describes the psychometric analysis of the Revised Shyness Scale of Check and Buss, composed of 11 Likert items with five alternatives. The scale was administered to 385 students, men and women, 16-25 years of age and national private universities in Lima. Correlation analysis-test item associations found highly significant (p<0.001) for each of the reagents, the reagents evaluated indicating that a single construct indicators. Shyness Scale has high internal consistency (Cronbach’s a = .842). The validity of construct was established by means of Analysis Factorial, where the analysis of principal components and the orthogonal rotation (Varimax) they extracted two factors identified like: Inadequacy of interpersonal relations and Avoidance of social contact.
