STARS: Un instrumento útil para evaluar la ansiedad a la estadística
Keywords:
propiedades psicométricas, ansiedad estadística, validaciónAbstract
La ansiedad a la estadística se define como un conjunto de reacciones emocionales que genera incomodidad en el individuo, como preocupación excesiva, ideas intrusivas y tensión al asistir a una asignatura que involucre estadística o análisis estadísticos. Para su medición, se han diseñado distintos instrumentos; el más usado es la Statistical Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS). El objetivo del presente estudio fue adaptar y validar la escala STARS en una muestra colombiana para explorar sus propiedades psicométricas. Participaron 357 estudiantes universitarios con edades entre los 18 y 36 años (M= 19.19, DE = 1.87). Los resultados evidencian que las subescalas de la STARS muestran excelentes niveles de fiabilidad; el análisis factorial confirma la estructura de seis dimensiones y se reporta una validez concurrente importante. Se recomienda su uso para investigación y como herramienta para la toma de decisiones en procesos de acompañamiento académico en universidades.
