Psychometric analysis of a scale of Attitude towards thesis development in Peruvian university students

This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of a scale designed to measure the attitude towards thesis development (ATD) among 666 Peruvian students (74.9% women), also the academic self-efficacy (ASE) and research self-efficacy (RSE) scales were used. We assessed the clarity of the...

We assessed the clarity of the items through the perception of students, while the internal structure was analyzed using exploratory structural equation modeling. The reliability was also examined, and its association with ASE and RSE, and by analyzing differences between students willing to choose the thesis as their first option against those who would not. The items have clarity and a four-factor oblique structure with modest factor loadings and complex factorial composition. A final 16-item version was established with satisfactory reliability. Furthermore, a direct relationship was found between ATD, ASE, and RSE, with higher scores among students preferring graduating through a thesis. The ATD scale shows robust psychometric properties. Este estudio se propuso investigar las propiedades psicométricas de una escala que mide la actitud hacia la elaboración de tesis (AET) en 666 estudiantes peruanos (74.9% mujeres), y se usaron además escalas de autoeficacia académica (AA) y de autoeficacia en Investigación (AI). Evaluamos la claridad de los ítems a través de la percepción de estudiantes, mientras que la estructura interna se analizó mediante modelamiento exploratorio de ecuaciones estructurales. Asimismo, se examinó la confiabilidad, y su asociación con AA y AI, y comparando estudiantes que elegirán tesis y los que no lo harán. Los ítems tienen claridad y una estructura de cuatro factores oblicuos con cargas factoriales modestas y una composición factorial compleja. La versión final de 16 ítems tuvo una confiabilidad satisfactoria. Además, se relacionó directamente entre AET, la AA y la AI, con puntuaciones más altas en estudiantes que preferían la tesis para graduarse. La escala AET evidencia propiedades psicométricas robustas. - Instituto de Investigaciones Psicológicas 2025-04-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/45302 10.32348/1852.4206.v17.n1.45302 Argentinean Journal of Behavioral Sciences; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2025): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento ; 72-91 Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2025): Revista Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento ; 72-91 1852-4206 10.32348/1852.4206.v17.n1 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/racc/article/view/45302/48874 Derechos de autor 2025 Sergio Dominguez-Lara, Manuel Fernández-Arata, Rosa Seperak-Viera, Rony Prada-Chapoñan, Maite Díaz-Peñaloza https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
