Representativeness of items regarding construct through judge's method was explored by employing the coefficient V of Aiken and their respective confidence intervals. The internal structure was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and reliability.
Results:
Show representativeness of items against construct in a liberal level (Vo = 0.50, Cicchetti, 1994). A one-dimensional factor was found but with correlated errors in one of the items which when removed, the model was adjusted and reliability estimation was regulated, this latter was at a high level (> 0.80).
