Estructura factorial exploratoria del HSPQ y del CAQ en población adolescente

Abstract

Exploratory factor structure of HSPQ and CAQ in adolescents. The relationships between the HSPQ (High School Personality Questionnaire) and the CAQ (Clinical) Analysis Questionnaire) are analyzed. The tests were given to 225 secondary school students of 14-15 years old (91 males and 134 females). A varimax rotation factorial analysis revealed 7 factors, which splain 64.3 % of variance: Psychological Maladjustement, Boldness-Caution, Social Withdrawal, Impulsivity, Assertivity and Conscientiousness. The first three factors coincide with those found by other authors. Few similarities are found between the remaining issues. We suggest the peed to deepen the content and also to make denomination of similar factors more uniform.
