ESCALA DE EXPERIENCIAS DE DISCRIMINACIÓN: CONSISTENCIA Y ESTRUCTURA INTERNA EN ESTUDIANTES DE MEDICINA (Experiences of Discrimination Scale: Internal consistency and structure in medical students)
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: El objetivo fue estimar la consistencia y estructura interna de la Escala de Experiencias de Discriminacion (EED) en estudiantes de medicina de Bucaramanga, Colombia. Se realizo un estudio de validacion con 361 estudiantes, entre 18 y 30 anos, y 59,7%, mujeres. La EED agrupa dos escalas distintas, discriminacion general (EED-G) y preocupacion por discriminacion (EED-P). Se determino alfa de Cronbach, omega de McDonald y estructura interna (analisis factorial exploratorio). La EED-G mostro alfa de Cronbach de 0,88 y omega de McDonald de 0,89; y la EED-P, 0,80 para ambos coeficientes. La EED-G presento un factor que explico 52,9% de la varianza; y EED-P, una dimension fue responsable del 62,5% de la varianza. Se concluye que la EED presenta buen desempeno psicometrico, EED-G y EED-P son dos escalas unidimensionales con alta consistencia interna.

Abstract The objective was to estimate the internal consistency and structure of the Experiences of Discrimination Scale (EDS) in medical students from Bucaramanga, Colombia. A validation study was conducted. A total of 361 student participated, aged between 18 to 30, and 59.7% were women. The EED includes two separated scales, overall discrimination (O-EDS) and concerns about discrimination (W-EDS). Cronbach alpha, McDonald omega and internal structure (exploratory factor analysis) were determined. The O-EDS showed Cronbach alpha of 0.88 and McDonald omega, 0.89; and W-EDS, showed 0.80 for both coefficients. The O-EDS consists in a factor that explained 52.9% of the variance; and W-EDS one dimension was responsible of 62.5% of the variance. It is concluded that EDS shows an appropriate psychometric performance, both W-EDS and O-EDS are one-dimensional scales with high internal consistency. Keywords: Experiences of Discrimination Scale, Validity, Test Validity, Test Reliability, Reproducibility of Results, Validation Studies, Psychometrics, Medical Students, Racism.
