Abstract
HERRERO-FERNANDEZ, DAVID. Development of a Brief Questionnaire to Measure Risky Behavior in Adolescent Pedestrians. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.2, pp.271-284. ISSN 0121-5469. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v24n2.43567.
The objective of the present study is the creation of a brief self-reporting questionnaire to assess risky behaviors among pedestrians. For this purpose, a sample of 351 people completed the initial 13 items on the instrument and performed a task of risk perception as a measure of validity. The confirmatory factor analysis verified a satisfactory fit of the final 8-item model for a single factor, which reached a satisfactory internal consistency (α=.75). Subsequently, the analysis showed the convergent and discriminant validity of the questionnaire based on correlations obtained with the administered measures of risk perception.
