Propriedades psicométricas de uma escala para medir a gestão da vergonha em adolescentes (Moss-Sast)

(Ahmed, 1999) to measure shame management in adolescents in situations of aggression toward peers. The study was conducted with a sample of 700 students from public secondary schools (N= 700) located in a northwestern state municipality of Mexico. Results enabled to obtain an empirically sustainable measuring model formed by two factors: Acknowledgment and Displacement (X2 = 5.16, p= 0.27; CMIN= 1.29; GFI= .98; CFI= .99; NFI= .97; RMSEA= .05). Evidence was obtained to show that the instrument has criterion validity since it is capable to differentiate between subgroups of students with and without reports of bullying in both factors, Acknowledgment (t= 3.49, gl= 137, p< .001) and Displacement (t= 3.63, gl= 137, p< .001). It was concluded that the results strengthen the original factorial structure of the scale and show the usefulness of the same, both for inquiring about emotions related to moral development and for identifying students involved as aggressors in bullying situations.Se establecieron las evidencias de validez y confiabilidad de la adaptación del cuestionario MOSS-SAST (Ahmed, 1999) para medir el manejo de la vergüenza en adolescentes ante situaciones de agresión hacia los pares. El estudio se realizó en una muestra de estudiantes de escuelas secundarias públicas (N= 700) ubicadas en un municipio de un estado del noroeste de México. Los resultados permitieron obtener un modelo de medición empíricamente sustentable formado por nueve ítems agrupados en dos factores: Reconocimiento y Desplazamiento (c2 = 5.16, p= 0.27; CMIN= 1.29; GFI= .98; CFI= .99; NFI= .97; RMSEA= .05). El instrumento cuenta con evidencias de validez de criterio, ya que establece la diferencia en los factores de reconocimiento (t= 3.49, gl= 137, p< .001) y desplazamiento (t= 3.63, gl= 137, p< .001) en subgrupos de estudiantes con y sin reportes de bullying. Se concluyó que los resultados fortalecen la estructura factorial original de la escala y muestran su utilidad, tanto en la indagación de emociones relacionadas con el del desarrollo moral, como en la identificación de estudiantes involucrados como agresores en situaciones de bullying.Foram estabelecidas as evidências de validade e confiabilidade da adaptação do Questionário MOSS-SAST (Ahmed, 1999) para medir a gestão da vergonha em adolescentes ante situações de agressão contra os pares. O estudo foi realizado com uma amostra de estudantes do ensino fundamental e médio (N=700) de um município do noroeste do México. Os resultados permitiram obter um modelo de medição empiricamente sustentável, formado por nove itens agrupados em dois fatores: reconhecimento e deslocamento (c2 = 5.16, p= 0.27; CMIN= 1.29; GFI= .98; CFI= .99; NFI= .97; RMSEA= .05). O instrumento conta com evidências de validade de critério já que estabelece a diferença nos fatores de reconhecimento (t= 3.49, gl= 137, p< .001) e deslocamento (t= 3.63, gl= 137, p< .001) em subgrupos de estudantes com e sem relatos de bullying. Conclui-se que os resultados fortalecem a estrutura fatorial original da escala e mostram sua utilidade, tanto na indagação de emoções relacionadas com o desenvolvimento moral quanto na identificação de estudantes envolvidos como agressores em situações de bullying

Validación de un instrumento para medir la responsabilidad social empresarial en consumidores de México

The current study aimed to evaluate the empirical sustainability of a measurement instrument of corporate social responsibility in consumers from Mexico. For this purpose, a non-probabilistic sample of 436 students of a public university was selected, which was divided into two subsamples (n = 218). By means of an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis, the results obtained showed the empirical validity of the model. It is proposed that by using this instrument, sufficient empirical information might be obtained that serves for making strategic decisions, as well as to enrich and sustain the ideas and existing theories on CSR, which many of them have not been validated within the Latin American context. It is important to note that due to the nature of the topic and the type of scale, there exists the possibility of certain social desirability in the instrument responses. It is concluded that the instrument can be used by other researchers to assess CSR in a sustainable mannerEl presente estudio se propuso evaluar la sustentabilidad empírica de un instrumento de medición de la responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE) en consumidores de México. Para ello, se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística de 436 estudiantes de una universidad pública, la cual fue dividida en dos submuestras (n = 218). Mediante un análisis factorial exploratorio y un análisis factorial confirmatorio, los resultados obtenidos demostraron la validez empírica del modelo. Se propone que al utilizar dicho instrumento se obtenga información empírica suficiente que sirva para la toma de decisiones estratégicas, así como para enriquecer y sustentar las ideas y teorías existentes sobre la RSE, muchas de las cuales no han sido validadas dentro del contexto latinoamericano. Es importante señalar que, debido a la naturaleza del tema y el tipo de escala, existe la posibilidad de cierta deseabilidad social en las respuestas del instrumento. Se concluye que el instrumento puede ser utilizado por otros investigadores para valorar de manera sustentable la RS

The Relationship Between Organizational Culture and Knowledge Management in Tequila Companies from Mexico

The purpose of this research is to determine the degree of association between organizational culture and knowledge management. Using a quantitative and cross-sectional design, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between variables, as well as a hierarchical multiple regression in order to measure the potential impact of organizational culture on knowledge management. To test some hypotheses, a sample of 39 tequila business organizations from the state of Jalisco was obtained, whose results provided empirical evidence that organizational culture can associate and explain to knowledge management

Challenging Behavior, Parental Conflict and Community Violence in Students with Aggressive Behavior

The effects of the presence of challenging behavior problems, parental conflict and violence in the community were determined by the probability of occurrence of bullying behaviors in elementary students. 664 students participated in the study, of whom 80 (12.04%) were identified as aggressors. 80 students with no reports of attacks were later selected randomly for comparison. Using logistic regression, it was found that the variables studied manifest significant differences between the student groups with and without aggressive behavior toward peers (R2 = .39). Challenging behavior (OR = 7.83), parental conflict (OR = 3.77) and Community Violence (OR = 5.36) increase the probability of belonging to the group of aggressors. We conclude that it is necessary to analyze the bullying from an ecological framework that considers variables located in the contexts in which individuals interact
