Social Competence and Career Development: Validation of a Scale with Secondary Students

This paper presents a validation study of the Perceived Social Competence in Career Scale (SCCarS). The sample included 571 adolescents, 283 girls (49.6%) and 287 boys (50.3%), aged 14 to 25 years old (ì=16.33±1.41), 10th and 11th grade students attending secondary schools in the northern, central a...

The sample included 571 adolescents, 283 girls (49.6%) and 287 boys (50.3%), aged 14 to 25 years old (ì=16.33±1.41), 10th and 11th grade students attending secondary schools in the northern, central and southern Portugal. Exploratory factor analysis indicates the presence of eight factors, with eigenvalues superior to 1.00, explaining 79.16% of the total variance of the items. Confirmatory factor analysis provided support to the factorial structure of eight factors, with adequate fit indices (X2/df=4.229, CFI= 0.909, GFI= 0.869, RMSEA= 0.079, p= 0.000). These results are consistent with the factorial structure found in previous studies carried out with Portuguese samples from 8th grade. Implications are drawn related to the need for further study of the psychometric characteristics of the SCCarS with young people from different age groups.Este trabajo presenta un estudio de validacion de la Escala de Competencia Social Percibida en la Carrera (ECSCar). La muestra incluyo 571 adolescentes, 283 mujeres (49.6%) y 287 hombres (50.3%), de 14 a 25 anos de edad (ƒÊ=16.33 }1.41), estudiantes de 10o y 11o grado de escuelas secundarias en el norte, centro y sur de Portugal. El analisis factorial exploratorio indica la presencia de ocho factores con valores propios superiores a 1.00, que explican 79.16% de la varianza total de los items. El analisis factorial confirmatorio apoya la estructura factorial de ocho factores con los indices de ajuste adecuados (X2/df=4.229, CFI= 0.909, GFI= 0.869, RMSEA= 0.079, p= 0.000). Estos resultados son consistentes con la estructura factorial encontrada en estudios previos realizados con muestras de portugueses de 8o grado. Se elaboran implicaciones relativas a la necesidad de un mayor estudio de las caracteristicas psicometricas de la ECSCar con jovenes de diferentes grupos de edad.Pontificia Universidad JaverianaProject funded by the Study “Career and citizenship development: Personal and contextual conditions for ethical questioning of life-career projects” financed by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, and Programa Compete (PTDC/CPE-CED/098896/2008).null2018-02-24T16:04:42Z2020-04-15T18:28:04Z2018-02-24T16:04:42Z2020-04-15T18:28:04Z2015-11-29http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPDFapplication/pdftext/htmlhttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/544510.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-3.sccd2011-27771657-9267http://hdl.handle.net/10554/33086enghttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/5445/12431http://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/5445/12963Universitas Psychologica; Vol. 14, Núm. 3 (2015)Copyright (c) 2015 Universitas PsychologicaAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2reponame:Repositorio Universidad Javerianainstname:Pontificia Universidad Javerianainstacron:Pontificia Universidad Javeriana2023-03-29T19:25:42Z
