Adaptación a colombia del o'Kelly women'S belief scales (owbs)

The aim of this study was the adaptation to Colombia of O'Kelly Women's Beliefs Scales (OWBS), an instrument that measures the irrational thinking on the traditional female role. The Colombian version of the scale was prepared using the reverse translation method and administered to 931 women aged between 17 and 70. Exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation yielded five factors that accounted for 45.57% of the total variance, based on 37 reactive with factor loadings above. 30. As in previous studies, the existence of a dominant factor that explains 30% of the variance is confirmed. The internal consistency of the scale and the derived factors was adequate, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients between .79 and .94. In general, these results establish equivalence between the Colombian version of the OWBS and the original Australian version. However, given the theoretical foundation of the scale and the magnitude of the correlation between derived factors, a grouping of items in two main factors is proposed- General irrational beliefs about the traditional female role (made up of four derived factors) and Irrational beliefs about the traditional female role in the couple (based on the remaining factor)-. This hypothetical structure should be confirmed empirically in future research.O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar para Colômbia a O'Kelly Women's Belief Scale (OWBS), um instrumento que mede o pensamento irracional sobre o papel feminino tradicional. Para desenvolver a versão colombiana da escala utilizou-se o método de tradução reversa, administrada a 931 mulheres entre 17 e 70 anos. A Análise fatorial exploratória com rotação Varimax rendeu cinco fatores que responderam por 45,57% da variância total, com base em 37 reativos com cargas fatoriais acima de 0,30. Como em estudos anteriores, se confirma a existência de um fator dominante que explica 30% da variância. A coerência interna da escala e dos fatores derivados foi adequada, com coeficientes alfa de Cronbach entre 0,79 e 0,94. Em geral, estes resultados estabelecem uma equivalência entre a versão colombiana da OWBS e a versão australiana original. No entanto, pela fundamentação teórica da escala e a magnitude da correlação entre os fatores derivados, propomos agrupar itens em dois fatores principais chamados Crenças irracionais gerais sobre o papel feminino tradicional (composto por quatro fatores derivados) e Crenças irracionais sobre o papel feminino tradicional como um casal (o fator restante). Esta estrutura hipotética deve confirmar-se empiricamente em pesquisas futuras.El objetivo de este estudio fue la adaptación a Colombia de la O'Kelly Women Beliefs Scales (OWBS), instrumento que mide el pensamiento irracional sobre el rol tradicional femenino.
