Resumen
Antecedentes: las escalas de paciencia han adquirido importancia en la investigación durante la última década ya que sirven como un marcador clínico de salud psicológica. Objetivo: determinar la validez de constructo, convergente y discriminante, de una escala para medir paciencia. Método: participó una muestra incidental de 289 estudiantes universitarios con edad promedio de 21,36 años. Se utilizó como primer filtro el juicio de expertos, luego se aplicó el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) con 144 casos aleatorios en la muestra, y finalmente se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) en el resto (145). También se utilizó la r de Pearson. Resultados: una escala unidimensional, con buen ajuste y confiabilidad adecuada: X² = 2.150; gl = 2; X²/gl = 1.075; CFI = .999; RMSEA = 0.023 (IC del 90 %, [0.000, 168]); alfa = 0.75; omega = .75. La escala tiene validez convergente con el Cuestionario de paciencia de tres factores (r = 0.55 [0.45, 0.78], d = mediana) y exhibe validez discriminante con la Escala de propensión a la ira-G (r = -0.29 [-0.13, -.46], d = pequeño). Conclusión: la Escala de Paciencia Breve-G tiene buenas propiedades psicométricas, y se recomienda su uso para estudiantes universitarios de habla hispana.
