Abstract

RODRIGUEZ BARRETO, Lucía Carlota; PARRA PULIDO, Javier Humberto  and  FONSECA ESTUPINAN, Gina Paola. Propiedades psicométricas y baremación de la prueba ENFEN en zonas rurales y urbanas de Tunja (Colombia). Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.339-350. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2018.0002.10.

This research aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and standardization of the Neuropsychological Assessment of Executive Functions in Children Test (ENFEN in Spanish). This was a non-experimental quantitative and psychometric study with a convenience sample of 367 participants (171 children and 196 girls, 46,6 % and 53,4 %) of both rural and urban areas, aged 6 to 12 years (M = 8,99, SD = 1,88). The method of exploratory factor analysis by principal components was used to establish criterion and content validity against the executive function subscale of the ENI. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a single factor explaining 58,86 % of the total variance, like the original test results. Statistically significant correlations between all subscales and the ENI was found (p <0,05). Results show that the ENFEN is a valid tool for assessing executive functions in children of urban and rural areas which can be used in clinical and research field test.
