Adaptación y evidencias de validez de la Escala de Estilos de Respuesta en niños argentinos

espanolLa rumiacion se considera un marcador estable de la aparicion de la depresion, la recurrencia de episodios depresivos y el mantenimiento del afecto negativo. A pesar de su importancia clinica, esta cuestion no es abordada en profundidad en poblacion infantil. Entre los factores relacionados con la falta de estudios, se encuentra la escasez de instrumentos para evaluar estas variables en ninos. Por este motivo, este trabajo se propuso traducir la Escala de Estilos de Respuesta para Ninos de Ziegert y Kistner (CRSS, 2002), adaptarla en poblacion infantil con desarrollo tipico de Argentina (Escala de Estilos de Respuesta en Ninos-Argentina, EERN-A) y analizar sus propiedades psicometricas. Para ello, se evaluo a 434 ninos argentinos de 8 a 12 anos de edad y se analizo la estructura factorial de la escala y su confiabilidad. Tambien se evaluo la validez concurrente del instrumento mediante su asociacion con otras medidas de rumiacion y distraccion, y su validez convergente con medidas teoricamente relacionadas (ansiedad y depresion). Los resultados apoyan la multidimensionalidad e independencia de la rumiacion y la distraccion. Asimismo, las subescalas muestran relaciones con variables relacionadas, asi como una adecuada estructura interna y fiabilidad. De este modo, este estudio supone un aporte para la evaluacion de los estilos de respuestas en poblacion infantil, debido a que permite contar con un instrumento valido para la evaluacion de la rumiacion y la distraccion en ninos EnglishAdaptation and evidence of validity of the Response Styles Scale in Argentinian children. Rumination is considered a stable marker of the onset of depression, the recurrence of depressive episodes and the maintenance of negative affect. Despite its clinical importance, this issue is not properly addressed in children. Among the factors related to the lack of studies, is the lack of instruments to evaluate these variables in children. For this reason, this work had the aim to translate the Children’s Response Styles Scale of Ziegert and Kistner (CRSS, 2002), adapt it in children with typical development of Argentina (Escala de Estilos de Respuesta en Ninos-Argentina –EERN-A–) and analyze its psychometric properties. To this end, 434 Argentinian children aged 8 to 12 were evaluated. The factorial structure of the scale and its reliability were analyzed. The concurrent validity of the instrument was also evaluated through its association with other measures of rumination and distraction. Its convergent validity was evaluated through relationships with theoretically related variables (anxiety and depression). The results support the multidimensionality and independence of rumination and distraction. Likewise, the subscales show relationships with related variables as well as an adequate internal structure and reliability. Thus, this study is a contribution to the evaluation of response styles in children, because it provides a valid instrument for the assessment of rumination and distraction in children.
