La muestra fue de 1181 participantes; 592 de Ingeniería y 589 de Ciencias Sociales, con edad media de aproximadamente 18 años. El abordaje adoptado se enmarcó dentro de un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño descriptivo tipo encuesta. Todos los participantes contestaron la escala autoeficacia en la solución de problemas y comunicación científica. Los resultados de los análisis de varianza mostraron que los perfiles de autoeficacia percibida en la solución de problemas y en comunicación científica son muy similares entre los alumnos de ciencias sociales y de ingeniería en los cuatro índices estudiados. Por ello, la idea de que a las licenciaturas de ciencias sociales llegan alumnos de "menor calidad" que a las ingenierías, es un prejuicio; al menos a lo que autoeficacia percibida se refiere.Palabras clave: creencias del estudiante, educación superior, habilidad percibida, características del estudiante. Perceived self-efficacy in problem solving and communication in university students of engineering and social sciences AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to compare the profiles of perceived self-efficacy in problem solving and communication between engineering and social sciences university students. A sample of 1181 participants was considered; 592 from engineering and 589 from social sciences, with average age of 18 years. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and transversal survey design was used. All the participants completed the Self-efficacy in problem solving and scientific communication Scale. The results of the analysis of variance showed that perceived self-efficacy profiles in problem solving and in scientific communication are very similar among students of social sciences and engineering in the four indices studied. Therefore the idea that to university careers in social sciences arrive students of "lower quality" that the engineering's is a prejudice, at least according to the perceived self-efficacy.
ResumenEl presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la prueba Escala de Ansiedad Asociada a la Imagen Corporal (Body Image Anxiety Scale) versión rasgo en hombres y mujeres universitarios. La muestra total fue de 1545 participantes; 616 mujeres y 929 hombres, con una edad media de 18.11 años y 18.27 años, respectivamente. Los análisis factorial confirmatorios mostraron que una estructura bifactorial (promoción de la cultura e identidad cultural) es adecuada para ambas poblaciones (mujeres y hombres) de acuerdo a los requisitos psicométricos establecidos cuando los informantes son los propios alumnos. Además, la estructura factorial, las cargas factoriales y los interceptos se consideran invariantes en las dos poblaciones. Sin embargo, existen diferencias entre las poblaciones para las medias de los factores peso y no-peso. Palabras clave: ecuaciones estructurales, estructura factorial, invarianza de medida, análisis factorial confirmatorio Factorial Invariance of the Body Image Anxiety Scale in Male and Female University Students AbstractThe present study analyses the psychometric properties of the trait version of Body Image Anxiety Scale applied to male and female university students. The overall sample consisted of 1545 subjects: 616 women and 929 men, with a mean age of 18.11 years and 18.27 years respectively. Psychometric analysis showed that a two-factorial structure (promotion of the culture and cultural identity) was adequate for both populations (men and women) according to the established psychometric requirements when the informers are the students themselves. The results showed that factor structure, factor loadings and intercepts of the instrument could be considered invariant across groups. However, there are differences between groups for the means of the weight and no-weight factors.
