Abstract

HEMAN CONTRERAS, ARTURO et al. Preliminary factorial structure of the O'Kelly Women's Belief Scales in Mexican population. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.1, pp.129-135. ISSN 1794-4724.

A Back-translated Mexican version of the Australian O'Kelly Women's Belief Scales was given to a sample of 363 women born and living in Mexico. A factor analysis with a varimax rotation with cutoff eigenvalues of 3 showed that 36 out of the 92 items originally developed in the Australian study accounted for 40.138% of the variance, and could be ultimately grouped into two factors: One "Rationality" factor, with a total of 14 items, and one "Irrationality" factor with a total of 22 items, and with a very low Pearson's rs (.119) between them. These results support the equivalency of the Mexican version to the original instrument used to identify the presence of the REBT's absolutistic, rigid beliefs about traditional feminine roles in women.

Keywords : O'Kelly Women's Beliefs Scales; psychometrics; back-translation; rationality; irrationality.
