Validez de constructo y validez de criterio del school burnout inventory adaptado al español colombiano en una muestra escolar de edades entre 12 y 18 años de la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The burnout syndrome is a psychological construct that has been developed conceptually, investigated and evaluated by psychology and other similar disciplines for over 40 years. Even though, its conceptualization has its origins through observation on health area employees, its symptoms have been recognized in several contexts, including the scholar ones. This investigation constitutes the primary proses of construct and criterion validity of the Spanish adaptation from Colombian Spanish about School Burnout Inventory (SBI), which is the only instrument in the world that allows the evaluation of school burnout symptoms in children and teenagers aged between 12 and 18 years (Salmela-Aro, Kiuru, Leskinen and Nurmi, 2008). It included the participation of a sample of 567 adolescent students from Bogota. The construct validity was identified through the measurement of reliability using Cronbach's alpha and the exploratory factor analysis, besides, criterion validity through correlation coefficient r of Pearson, from the Colombian version of SBI.
