Abstract
Antecedentes: la escala de Experiencias Vitales Tempranas (ELES)
evalúa el recuerdo de la amenaza y subordinación percibidas durante la in-
fancia en las relaciones familiares partiendo de la teoría del rango social. Se
propone adaptar al español dicha escala y comprobar su estructura factorial
mediante una validación cruzada y explorar sus propiedades psicométricas.
Método: participaron 960 sujetos (863 de población general y 97 pacientes).
Resultados: los datos confirman la estructura factorial de la versión inicial de
Gilbert, Cheung, Grandfield, Campey, y Irons (2003), obteniendo tres fac-
tores: sumisión, amenaza, y desvalorización, explicando un 66.31% de la
varianza. La versión española de la escala ELES resultó estar compuesta
por el mismo número de ítems que la original y mostró índices adecuados
de validez, consistencia interna, fiabilidad retest, fiabilidad compuesta e in-
varianza por género. Conclusiones: la escala de Experiencias Vitales Tempranas
(ELES) puede ser de utilidad para evaluar las experiencias vitales tempra-
nas, estudiar la relación entre dichas experiencias en diferentes manifesta-
ciones psicopatológicas y establecer posibles modelos explicativos
Background: The Early Life Experiences Scale (ELES) evaluates the memory of threat and subordination perceived in childhood family rela- tionships based on social rank theory. This scale was adapted to Spanish, its factor structure was tested by cross-validation, and its psychometric properties were explored. Method: 960 subjects participated (863 subjects from the general population and 97 patients). Results: Data confirm the factor structure of the original version by Gilbert, Cheung, Grandfield, Campey, and Irons (2003), obtaining a similar model with three factors: submission, threat, and devaluation, which explained 66.31% of the vari- ance. The Spanish version of the ELES was comprised of the same num- ber of items as in the original study and showed adequate indices of validi- ty, internal consistency, retest and combined reliability, and invariance by gender. Conclusions: The Early Life Experiences Scale (ELES) can be a useful measure for evaluating early life experiences. Its application may be very relevant in studying the relationship between these experiences and psy- chopathological manifestations in constructing explanatory models.
