Scale of Attitudes Towards Research (EACIN-R): Psychometric Properties in Peruvian University Students. Propós. represent. [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.1, e1699.  Epub 30-Abr-2023.

This instrumental research aimed at confirming the psychometric properties of the EACIN-R Attitudes Towards Research Scale, which contains three factors with 28 items included in three subscales: interest, vocation, and research assessment. Two hundred twenty students from a Peruvian university participated, 82 men and 138 women. Confirmatory factor analysis and Horn’s parallel analysis confirmed the internal structure of the instrument, the trifactorial model, and the number of items in each subscale. Cronbach's alpha index, for the reliability analysis, yielded a value of .898 in the test total. In addition, reliability was obtained for each of its factors, vocation (.862), assessment (.692), and research interest (.757). It is concluded that the instrument presents a good level of internal consistency, and its use is supported to measure this construct in university students with similar characteristics to the participants in this study.
