Validez criterial del inventario de actividad de Jenkins (JAS) en una muestra de varones canarios

Abstract

Criterion-oriented validity in a modified Spanish version of the JAS is analized. SI-oriented validity is evidenced by a high-medium association (.70) between SI and JAS global assessment of the TABP. Concurrent validity of the JAS regarding CHID is provided by results indicating higher and statistically significant scores among respondents with evidence of CHD than matched controls. These results are very different when we study Criterion-oriented validity with CHD patients separately who suffered myocardial infarction or angina pectoris. Patients with angina clearly had higher scores than matched healthy controls but evidence for the patients with myocardial infarction is weaker. This outcome gave us an important refect on subject. We conclude by sugesting that our factor 2, i.e. Social and Laboral Pressure be suppressed, in a global scale for the assessment of TABP because its content isn't coronary-prone.
