Psychometric Properties of a Scale Measuring Cyber-Victimization in University Students

This study analyzes the psychometric properties of a scale used to measure cyber-victimization in students of higher education. The research involved 686 students, of which 380 were male (M=19.92; SD=1.83 years) and 306 female (M=18.5; SD=1.72 years), from six higher education institutions in a stat...

Ciberacoso validez fiabilidad educación superior. This study analyzes the psychometric properties of a scale used to measure cyber-victimization in students of higher education. The research involved 686 students, of which 380 were male (M=19.92; SD=1.83 years) and 306 female (M=18.5; SD=1.72 years), from six higher education institutions in a state in northwestern Mexico. It was found that the bimensional model that measures denigration and identity theft showed better fit indices. The questionnaire showed factorial invariance for both sexes (configural and partial metric), evidence of concurrent validity – as its scores bear a relation to traditional victimization – and adequate reliability. The study concludes that the scale has psychometric properties that enable its use in measuring cyber-victimization in students of higher education. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la escala para medir Cibervictimización en estudiantes de Educación Superior. Participaron 686 estudiantes, 380 hombres (M=19.92, DE=1.83 años) y 306 mujeres (M=18.5, DE=1.72 años) de seis instituciones de educación superior de un Estado del noroeste de México. Se encontró que el modelo bidimensional que mide denigración y usurpación de identidad presenta mejores índices de ajuste. El cuestionario mostró invariancia factorial para ambos sexos (configuracional y métrica parcial), evidencias de validez concurrente, ya que sus puntajes se relacionan con los de victimización tradicional, y adecuada fiabilidad. Se concluyó que la escala posee propiedades psicométricas que permiten su utilización en la medición de la cibervictimización en estudiantes de educación superior.
