This research aimed to analyze the psychometric evidences of the Brief silence Scale (BRS) in Peruvian university students. A total of 468 students from public and private universities participated, from which 62,6% were women and 37.4% were men aged 18-50 years old (M=23.97, SD=6.58). The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the adjustment of the oblique model (CFI=.993; TLI=.987; RMSEA=.004; SRMR=.023) and adequate reliability values were obtained (α = .79 y ω = .85). Also, the criterion validity related to the same variable with the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) was identified (r=.606); the Life Orientation Test (LOT – R) was used for convergent and divergent validity (r=.617) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), with correlation coefficients of r=-.546 for depression, r=-.515 for anxiety, and r=-.514 for stress. Finally, the invariance was analyzed by gender, age and university of the participants, finding adequate equity values in four levels of factorial invariance. Therefore, it is concluded that the BRS instrument presents adequate evidences of validity, reliability and equity to measure resilience in Peruvian university students.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue el evaluar las propiedades psicométricas e invarianza de género del cuestionario de Habilidades Comunicativas (HABICOM). La muestra estuvo conformada por 774 estudiantes de una universidad estatal de Arequipa. Se analizó y confirmó los factores al igual que el estudio original, obteniendo unos índices de ajuste satisfactorios en sus dos subescalas Autopercepción Personal (c2 = 1977.683, gl = 499, p < .001; CFI = .945; TLI: .939; RMSEA = .061; SRMR = .042) e Importancia Profesional (c2 = 2534.513, gl = 517, p < .001; CFI = .926; TLI = .919; RMSEA = .070; SRMR = .049) con adecuados índices de confiabilidad en ambas subescalas, para la Autopercepción Personal (α = .63 y α = .85) e Importancia Profesional (α = .91 y α = .77) respectivamente. La invarianza de género fue adecuada para la subescala Autopercepción Personal, sin embargo, esto no ocurrió para la subescala Importancia Profesional. El cuestionario HABICOM en general es adecuado para medir las habilidades comunicativas en estudiantes universitarios peruanos.

The objective of this instrumental research was to confirm the psychometric properties of the EACIN-R Attitudes towards Research Scale, which contains three factors with 28 items comprised in three subscales: interest, vocation and assessment of research. 220 students from a Peruvian university participated, 82 men and 138 women. Confirmatory factor analysis and parallel Horn analysis confirmed the internal structure of the instrument, the trifactorial model, and the number of items in each subscale. Cronbach's alpha index, for the reliability analysis, yielded a value of .898 in the total test. In addition, reliability was obtained for each of its factors, vocation (.862), assessment (.692) and interest in research (.757). It is concluded that the instrument presents a good level of internal consistency, and its use is supported to measure this construct in university students with similar characteristics to the participants in this study.

The objective of the study was to develop a short version of the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), from the original version of 20 items, proposed by Watson et al. (1988a). The sample consisted of 3960 students from a public university in Lima. The results indicate that the validity of the internal structure, through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, was defined by 10 items and two dimensions. Positive affects are organized into five items: determined, optimistic, inspired, active, and attentive; while negative affects are in five items: irritable, hostile, angry, guilty, and ashamed. Likewise, it was found for the final short version, standardized coefficients with factorial loads between .48 and .85, as well as the fit indices of the model were in accordance with what was expected. Internal consistency reliability indicates Alpha and Omega coefficients greater than .70 in both factors. It is concluded that the instrument presents evidence of internal structure and the scores are consistent.  

El argumento central del libro es que estamos sometiendo la infancia mediante el patrón de lo Hiper, el cual se manifiesta en niveles muy altos de actividad, sexualización y uso excesivo de dispositivos electrónicos. Por otra parte, la exposición a estímulos y experiencias sin límites, también se ha convertido en una característica habitual en la infancia actual.

When the dispute goes in favor and the discourse represents the against: historical-philosophical concepts and their epochal transfer. Resumen: Tras los conceptos se esconden tantas verdades como realidades y para elucidarlas extraemos, como si de un fluido se tratara, su destilada verdad. Plegado a su sentido etimológico original el verbo disputare implica una selección extractiva de aquello que se quiere orientar orgánica y adecuadamente. Por este motivo, el presente trabajo trata sobre los conceptos y su función generadora de disputas. Aprovechando la reciente publicación del volumen colectivo editado por Maximiliano Hernández y Héctor del Estal: Conceptos en disputa, disputas sobre conceptos (Dykinson 2022) se lleva a cabo un recorrido por las trece contribuciones que lo componen, cuya conexión es la de mostrar la pluralidad de perspectivas contenidas en un concepto, así como su transferencia histórica, política y epistemológica. Abstract: Behind the concepts are hidden as many truths as realities and to elucidate them we extract, as if it were a fluid, their distilled truth. Folded to its original etymological sense, the verb disputare implies an extractive selection of what one wants to orient organically and adequately. For this reason, this paper deals with the concepts and their role as a generator of disputes. Taking advantage of the recent publication of the collective volume edited by Maximiliano Hernández and Héctor del Estal: Conceptos en disputa, disputas sobre conceptos (Dykinson 2022), a tour of the thirteen contributions that compose it is carried out, whose connection is to show plurality of perspectives contained in a concept, as well as its historical, political and epistemological transfer.
