RIVERA-LEDESMA, Armando; ZAVALA-JIMENEZ, Sandra; MONTERO-LOPEZ LENA, María  and  GARCIA MENDEZ, Rosa María. Validation of the Age Universal I-E Scale in Mexican Subjects. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.4, pp.1-8. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.1114/Javeriana.upsy15-4.vaus.

The work evaluates the psychometric properties of the scale I-E-12 in three Mexican samples: religious (N = 78), non religious (N = 148) and composite sample (N = 226). After the exploratory factor analysis applied to each of the samples, there was a structure composed of three factors being the structure of religious groups which he explained the 63.5 % of the variance with an alpha internal consistency between 0.7 and 0.88 for the full scale and its various factors. The scale assessed in Mexican subjects shows consistent results in good measure to those reported by Simkin and Etchezahar (2013), in the exploration of the I-E-12 in the argentine context.

Keywords : Age Universal I-E Scale; religious orientation; validation; Mexico.
