Validación de la versión española del Child Abuse Potential Inventory

Abstract

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar la adaptación y validación del Child Abuse Potential Inventory para su utilización en España. El Inventario CAP fue diseñado para evaluar el riesgo potencial que presenta un sujeto para perpetrar acciones de maltrato físico infantil. Consta de 160 items, agrupados en cuatro escalas: Abuso, Deseabilidad Social, Respuesta al Azar e Inconsistencia. Tras varios estudios preliminares en España, se procedió a su validación, aplicándolo a una muestra de 920 sujetos. La Escala de Respuesta al Azar fue modificada y quedó constituida por 12 items. La Escala de Deseabilidad Social, quedó compuesta por 10 items. Para realizar la validación de la Escala de Abuso se crearon dos grupos emparejados en las variables sociodemográficas: maltratadores físicos y población general. Se seleccionaron 73 items que discriminaban de manera estadísticamente significativa entre ambos grupos. Los análisis de regresión logística realizados con esta Escala de 73 items proporcionan porcentajes de clasificación correcta del 92.4%. Las puntuaciones directas de esta Escala proporcionan un porcentaje de clasificación correcta de sujetos maltratadores físicos y sujetos de la población general del 84.1%.

Impact of Stress and Mitigating Information on Evaluations, Attributions, Affect, Disciplinary Choices, and Expectations of Compliance in Mothers at High and Low Risk for Child Physical Abuse

“…A convenience sample of 1,319 mothers, who voluntarily completed the Spanish version of the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory (De Paúl, Arruabarrena, Múgica, & Milner, 1999), served as the initial participant pool. These mothers were recruited from public schools located in the Basque Country (Spain).…”

“…In the present study, KR20 for the Abuse scale was computed for the clinical sample (.83) and for the community sample (.83). The 34 items used in this study were pulled out from the Spanish version of the CAP Inventory (De Paúl et al, 1999).…”

Assessing the Reliability and Acceptability of an Arabic Language Version of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory

“…In the meta‐analysis carried out by Milner and Crouch (2012) that included 11 translated versions of the CAPI, only three studies matched the original factorial structure suggested by Milner (Chan et al, 2006; de la Rubia and Álvarez, 2005; Haz and Ramirez, 1998). Three reported on five factor structures (de Paúl et al, 1999; Diareme et al, 1997; Rios, 2010). One study reported four factorial structures (Huang et al, 1992).…”

“…Instability of the factorial structure was not replicated in the majority of translated versions and different structures were reported. In the meta‐analysis carried out by Milner and Crouch (2012) that included 11 translated versions of the CAPI, only three studies matched the original factorial structure suggested by Milner (Chan et al, 2006; de la Rubia and Álvarez, 2005; Haz and Ramirez, 1998); three reported five factor structures (de Paúl et al, 1999; Diareme et al, 1997; Rios, 2010); and one study reported four factor structures (Huang et al, 1992). Three studies reported on the stability of the first three factors (Distress, Rigidity and Unhappiness) but not on the interpersonal problem factors (Haz and Ramirez, 1998; Kawamura et al, 2009; Pečnik and Ajduković, 1995).…”
