    (Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2015) Viciana-Ramírez, Jesus; Blanco Vega, Humberto; Mayorga-Vega, Daniel
    ABSTRACT: Introduction. =e present study analyzes the psychometric properties of the In"uences on the Planning Decision-Making in Physical Education Questionnaire (CIPEF). Literature had contributed instruments for measuring beliefs and value orientations toward Physical Education, but there are no instruments that measure the in"uence of speci$c factors on teachers’ decision-making when planning Physical Education. Method. =e sample consisted of 335 Andalusian teachers (238 men and 97 women, average age = 29.85 ± 10.94 years). Exploratory and con$rmatory analyses were conducted in order to analyze the factorial structure of the questionnaire. Results. =e results showed the viability and adequacy of an eight-factor structure (curriculum standards, preservice training, physical environment, teaching experiences, physical activities experiences, socialization by other teachers, material and equipment, and level of preparation in the subject matters) with adequate $t indices of reliability and validity, and showing strong evidences of stability of the obtained factorial structure. Discussion. =is instrument could be used in the analysis of teachers’ planning decision-making, which has been studied mainly through qualitative approaches up till now. Further research is recommended in order to corroborate these findings.

    (Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz, 2023-04-21) Costa-Ball, Cesar Daniel; Cracco, Cecilia; Cuadro, Ariel; López García, Juan José; Psicología Básica y Metodología; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    Introduction: Considering the current controversy regarding the factorial structure of the SDQ, this paper aimed to analyse the dimensionality and reliability of the parents’ version for children from 4 to 16 years of age, and to present descriptive data according to sociodemographic variables. Method: The factor structure of the original five and three factor models, and the reliability of the SDQ were examined among a sample of 621 parents of Uruguayan children between 7 and 12 years of age (52% girls) from different socioeconomic levels. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses did not provide support for the five- and three-factor models. Data adjusted to three factors (prosociality, externalising symptoms, internalising symptoms) in an exploratory analysis with adequate reliability indices. Conclusions: The results of this study show the relevance of continued investigation of the SDQ internal structure, and further analysis of the behaviour of several of its items.
