RUIZ-ROBLEDILLO, Nicolás et al. Spanish adaptation and validation of the UGEQ questionnaire to assess group cohesion in university students. Rev. Digit. Invest. Docencia Univ. [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.1, e1618. Epub 15-Ene-2023. ISSN 2223-2516. http://dx.doi.org/10.19083/ridu.2023.1618.
Introduction:
the assessment of group cohesion is a fundamental aspect in the context of higher education. However, there is a need for appropriate and specific instruments to assess this construct in the university context.
Objective:
to adapt and validate the University Group Environment Questionnaire (UGEQ) group cohesion measure to the Spanish population.
Method:
the sample used for this study consisted of 309 Spanish university students, with a mean age of 22.61 (SD=5.5). For data analysis, a confirmatory factorial analysis was performed, following the structure of the original instrument (UGEQ).
Results:
the results suggest optimal adjustment indices (CFI= 0.92; TLI=0.90; SRMR=0.068 and RMSEA= 0.081 [90% CI: 0.071-0.092]) and appropriate internal consistency (0.88 [95% CI: 0.86-0.90]) and temporal stability.
Discussion:
these findings support the use of the UGEQ as a valid and reliable instrument to assess group cohesion in the Spanish university context.
