All responded to CaSRS and to demographic questions. The analysis of the main components demonstrated a bifactor structure, whose factors presented Cronbach's alphas (α) greater than .80 (g 1 ). This structure was corroborated by means of confirmatory factor analysis (for example, CFi =.87 and RMSEa =.08). The scale was shown to be psychometrically adequate and there was evidence of factorial validity and internal consistency; the scale can be used to measure plagiarism in the academic context.Keywords: admission, plagiarism, precision, validity. Escala de Autoinforme de Trampa-Admisión: Evidencias de Validez Factorial y PrecisiónResumen El estudio tuvo como fin adaptar al contexto brasileño la Escala de Autoinforme de Trampa-Admisión (EaT-a), reuniendo evidencias de su validez factorial y consistencia interna. Participaron 441 estudiantes (m=16 años, 54.6% del sexo femenino), divididos al azar en dos grupos. Todos respondieron a EaT-a y a preguntas demográficas. El análisis de componentes principales evidenció una estructura bifactorial, cuyos factores presentaron alfas de Cronbach (α) superiores a .80 (g 1 ). Esta estructura fue corroborada por medio de análisis factorial confirmatorio (por ejemplo, CFi=.87 y RMSEa=.08). Se concluyó que esta escala se mostró psicométricamente adecuada y reunió evidencias de validez factorial y consistencia interna, y puede utilizarse para mensurar plagio en contexto académico.Palabras clave: admisión, plagio, precisión, validez.

Prosocialness and Happiness in Chilean Student Teachers

“…In relation to the goodness-of-fit indicators, both the CFI and the TLI were within the ranges that the literature considers acceptable (Schumacher and Lomax, 1996). The same occurred with the RMSEA value (Browne and Cudeck, 1993;Gouveia et al, 2018).…”

“…To evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the model, the following indicators were used as: the comparative fit index (CFI), the Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), and the root mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA). From an interpretative perspective, the model presents a suitable fit when the CFI and the TLI display values over 0.90 (Schumacher and Lomax, 1996), whereas for the RMSEA values below 0.08 are considered adequate (Browne and Cudeck, 1993;Gouveia et al, 2018). The analyses were generated with the support of the Mplus program 7.11 (Muthén and Muthén, 2012).…”

Verification of the Internal Structure of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 in a Brazilian Community Sample

“…In the context of internal structure verification, the bifactor factor structure has been tested as a suitable model for dimensional constructs, as pathological traits composing personality disorders (pd). This structure has also been tested in self-report scales (Gouveia et al, 2018). This structure represents an approach of data modeling that reconciles multidimensionality and the existence of a general factor.…”

Cheating Motivation Scale: Evidence Of Validity And Reliability

“…Despite the existence of an instrument already validated for the Brazilian context, i.e. the Self-Reporting Cheating Scale -Admission (Gouveia et al, 2018), validation of the CMS is needed since it provides a better causal understanding of this socially deviant behavior. In a student context, it would favor the proposition of future intervention measures aimed at preventing these fraudulent practices (Fida et al, 2016).…”
