MORAL DE LA RUBIA, José; LANDERO HERNANDEZ, René; GONZALEZ RAMIREZ, Mónica Teresa e QUEZADA BERUMEN, Lucía del Carmen. A bifactor model for the Scale of Attitudes towards Statistics. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.2, pp.805-847. ISSN 0254-9247. http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202102.011.
The objectives of the study were to determine the psychometric properties of the Scale of Attitudes towards Statistics in Mexico. In this instrumental study, a non-probabilistic sample of 383 Mexican psychology students who responded to two attitude scales was analyzed. The bifactor model with three specific factors (safety, pleasure-usefulness, and motivation) showed the best properties of fit and convergent validity. The average attitude was neutral and more positive in men than in women. The general factor had a high correlation with attitude towards research. It is concluded that the three-factor bifactor model represents the relationship between the items better than the original five-factor model.
