Introduction: The present study tested the mediating role of career adaptability on the existing relation between trait emotional intelligence (EI) and academic engagement. Method: The sample consisted of 590 Spanish university students with a mean age of 21.66 years. Results: The results confirmed the positive relations of trait EI with career adaptability, as well as with academic engagement. A key finding concerns the confirmation of the mediating role of career adaptability on the relation between trait EI and academic engagement, supporting a model of total mediation. In confirming the existence of total mediation, this study makes a new and valuable contribution that allows for better and more precise clarification of the links between trait EI, career adaptability, and academic engagement. The discussion focuses on issues concerning the relation between these variables and the possibility of developing interventions to improve career adaptability and academic engagement in undergraduate populations.
Título: Adaptación y propiedades psicométricas de la escala SBI-U sobre Burnout Académico en estudiantes universitarios. Resumen: El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido desarrollar una adaptación española a estudiantes universitarios de la escala School Burnout Inventory (SBI) de 9 ítems. Así, se llevó a cabo una doble adaptación, por un lado, del inglés al español y, por otro, de estudiantes de secundaria a universitarios. La escala se aplicó a 578 estudiantes universitarios (25.7% hombres; 74.3% mujeres) de diversas zonas de España. Los resultados muestran que el SBI-Universitarios tiene la misma estructura que la versión original inglesa para estudiantes de secundaria, ello se ha constatado el mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio que ha indicado la existencia de tres factores: Agotamiento, Cinismo e Inadecuación. Por otro lado, las tres subescalas presentan una fiabilidad aceptable (entre .77 y .70). Además, se aportan indicios de validez a través de dieciocho correlatos externos y siete escalas de contraste. Finalmente, el SBI-U se configura como un instrumento potencialmente útil para evaluar el burnout académico en estudiantes universitarios. Palabras clave: Burnout académico; SBI; universidad; versión española; estudio instrumental. Abstract:The objective of the present study was to draw up a Spanish adaptation for university students of the School Burnout Inventory (SBI) 9-item scale. This entailed a double adaptation, on the one hand from English into Spanish and then from secondary school students to university students. The scale was applied to 578 university students (25.7% men; 74.3% women) from different regions in Spain. The findings indicate that the University students-SBI has the same structure as the original version in English for secondary school students. This was confirmed by factor analysis that pointed to the existence of three factors: Exhaustion, Cynicism and Inadequacy. Furthermore, the three subscales showed acceptable reliability (between .77 and .70) In addition to this, indications of validity were found using eighteen external correlates and seven contrast scales. Finally the SBI-U constitutes a potentially useful instrument for evaluating academic burnout in university students.
Título: La evaluación del distanciamiento psicológico (detachment) en estudiantes universitarios: Validación del Cuestionario de Experiencia de Recuperación en contextos educativos. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar y validar el Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación (Recovery Experience Questionnaire) para su uso en un contexto educativo. Hasta el momento, la evaluación del detachment o distanciamiento psicológico ha sido utilizada fundamentalmente en contextos laborales. El estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar la validez factorial y la validez de criterio, a través de la correlación con variables como la autorregulación, el compromiso (engagement), las estrategias de afrontamiento, y las dimensiones de la personalidad contempladas en el modelo de los cinco grandes factores (Big Five Model) en una muestra de 468 estudiantes universitarios españoles. Varios modelos propuestos en la literatura han sido probados a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los resultados obtenidos confirmaron la presencia de los cuatro factores siguientes: el distanciamiento psicológico, la relajación, el dominio, y el control. Estos son los mismos factores que se han observado en estudios previos dentro de los entornos laborales. Las correlaciones obtenidas entre estos cuatro factores y las variables consideradas verifican que el detachment está asociado de forma positiva y significativa con la autorregulación, el compromiso, las estrategias de afrontamiento, y ciertas dimensiones de personalidad. Por otro lado, el detachment mostró una relación significativa y negativa con variables de tipo negativo como la irritación. Palabras clave: Distanciamiento psicológico; compromiso; irritación; autorregulación. Abstract:The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Recovery Experience Questionnaire for use in an educational context. So far, this measure of detachment has mainly been used with workers. The study aimed to verify the factor validity and the criterion-related validity through correlation with self-regulation, engagement, coping strategies, and big-five personality dimensions in a sample of 468 Spanish university students. Several models proposed in the literature have been tested through confirmatory factor analysis. The results obtained confirmed the presence of four factors: psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery and control, as observed in previous studies within a workplace setting. Correlations obtained between these factors and the variables considered verified that detachment is significantly and positively associated with self-regulation, engagement, coping strategies, and certain types of personality; on the other side, detachment is significantly and negatively associated with irritation.
