The aim of the present study was to provide preliminary evidence concerning validation of the Cuestionario de Acoso entre Iguales (CAI) [Peer Bullying Questionnaire]. We examined the factor structure, reliability and convergent and discriminant validity of the Conductas de Acoso (CAI-CA) scale [Bullying Behaviors] in a sample of school-aged children and adolescents. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses provided support for a structure of seven uncorrelated factors which correspond to the following kinds of bullying: physical aggression, verbal aggression, direct social exclusion, indirect social exclusion, threats, cyberbullying, and aggression based on physical objects. Results provide support for factorial validity, internal consistency, and convergent and discriminant validity of the questionnaire. Data suggest that the CAI-CA is an appropriate assessment instrument of bullying victimization that may be a suitable tool for research and clinical purposes.
El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en proporcionar evidencia preliminar sobre la validación del Cuestionario de Acoso entre Iguales (CAI). Examinamos la estructura factorial, la fiabilidad y la validez convergente y discriminante de la escala de Conductas de Acoso (CAI-CA) en una muestra de niños y adolescentes. Los análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios constataron una estructura de siete factores no correlacionados que se corresponden con los siguientes tipos de bullying: maltrato físico, maltrato verbal, exclusión social directa, exclusión social indirecta, amenazas, ciberbullying, y agresión basada en objetos. Los resultados apoyan la validez factorial, la consistencia interna, y la validez convergente y discriminante del cuestionario. Los datos sugieren que el CAI-CA puede ser una herramienta apropiada para evaluar el bullying de victimización tanto en contextos de investigación como clínicos.
