Abstract

GARCIA-LANDA, Claudia  and  MONTERO, María. Proposal for measurement decisions on electrical energy consumption. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.45, n.3, pp.373-386. ISSN 0120-0534.  https://doi.org/10.14349/rlp.v45i3.1480.

Abstract This paper aims to document the psychometric characteristics of an instrument to assess decision-making with regard to power consumption (TDCEE) by means of narrative vignettes. The instrument was developed based on the assumption that decision-making in descriptive models is a dual rational and intuitive process. Based on the results of factorial analysis, two dimensions were identified (TDI and TDR) with moderate alphas and low correlation coefficient between them. We conclude that this scale meets acceptable psychometric criteria to be applied in the Mexican population.

Keywords : decision-making; power; vignettes; measurement; narratives.
