El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de las puntuaciones del Inventario de Ansiedad Escolar (IAES). El IAES fue administrado a una muestra de 520 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de 12 a 18 años. Los análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios apoyaron la estructura de cuatro factores correlacionados relativos a situaciones escolares (Ansiedad ante el fracaso y castigo escolar, Ansiedad ante la agresión, Ansiedad ante la evaluación social y Ansiedad ante la evaluación escolar) y la estructura de tres factores relativos a los sistemas de respuesta de la ansiedad (Ansiedad cognitiva, Ansiedad psicofisiológica y Ansiedad conductual). La consistencia interna y la fiabilidad test-retest fueron adecuadas. Los resultados revelaron correlaciones positivas y estadísticamente significativas entre el IAES y el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (STAI).
School Anxiety Inventory: Validation in a sample of Spanish secondary education students. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric evidence of scores on the School Anxiety Inventory (SAI). The SAI was administered to a sample of 520 secondary education students, aged from 12 to 18 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the correlated four-factor structure related to school situations (Anxiety about Academic Failure and Punishment, Anxiety about Aggression, Anxiety about Social Evaluation, and Anxiety about Academic Evaluation) and the three-factor structure related to the response systems of anxiety (Cognitive Anxiety, Psychophysiological Anxiety, and Behavioral Anxiety). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were appropriate. The results also revealed positive and statistically significant correlations between the SAI and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
