Resumen
El presente estudio instrumental analiza las características psicométricas de la escala breve de funcionamiento familiar (FACES-20esp), la cual fue desarrollada a partir de la escala americana Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES II) y adaptada al español (Martínez-Pampliega, Iraurgi, Galindez y Sanz, 2006). Se utiliza una muestra de 1530 estudiantes entre 12 y 17 años (Media= 14) pertenecientes a 19 centros escolares. La muestra total es dividida aleatoriamente en dos mitades, probándose con la primera la estructura factorial de forma exploratoria y con la otra mitad, mediante análisis factoriales confirmatorios, distintos modelos de estructura. Los resultados corroboran la solidez psicométrica del instrumento, el cual posee unos adecuados índices de fiabilidad (consistencia interna, alpha de Cronbach: 0,82 y 0,79, respectivamente para cohesión y adaptabilidad) y una buena validez de constructo, observada en la bondad de los índices de ajuste obtenidos por los modelos probados. Se retiene como modelo más adecuado (CFI= 0,97; GFI= 0,95; SRMR= 0,038; RMSEA= 0,052) una estructura de dos factores de primer orden, correspondientes a las dimensiones teóricas, y un factor de segundo orden que daría cuenta de una dimensión global de funcionamiento familiar.
This scale was developed from the American scale “Family adaptability and cohesion evaluation scale. FACES II” (Olson, Portner and Bell, 1982) and adapted to the Spanish culture (MartínezPampliega, Iraurgi, Galindez y Sanz, 2006). A sample of 1530 students from 12 to 17 years-old (average: 14) that belongs to 19 school centers is used. The total sample is divided randomly in two halves, checking the factorial structure in an exploratory way in the first half and different structure models through confirmatory factorial analysis in the second one. The results confirm the psychometric soundness of the instrument, which possesses suitable indexes of reliability (internal consistent, alpha de Cronbach: 0,82 y 0,79, respectively for cohesion and adaptability) and a good construct validity, endorsed by the goodness of the indexes of adjustment obtained by proven models. An structure of two first order factors is retained as a more suitable model (CFI= 0,97; GFI= 0,94; SRMR= 0,038; RMSEA= 0,052), related to the theoretical dimensions, and a second order factor that explains a global dimension of family functioning. The present instrumental study analyzes the psychometrics qualities of the brief scale of family functioning (FACES-20Esp).
