Adaptación española de la dimensión conductual del Displaced Aggression Questionnaire . Análisis de validez con medidas de ira y agresión genéricas y en la conducción
El presente estudio examinó el ajuste psicométrico de la dimensión de conducta agresiva desplazada del Displaced Aggression Questionnaire (Denson, Pedersen y Miller, 2006), una escala de 10 ítems que mide la frecuencia de agresión desplazada, en una muestra española compuesta por 285 participantes. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró el ajuste satisfactorio en un único factor, al igual que una elevada consistencia interna (α =.93). Para el estudio de validez se utilizaron medidas de ira y agresión genéricas y en el ámbito concreto de la conducción. Se observó una elevada validez convergente y discriminante, tanto por modo de comportamiento (correlacionando más fuertemente con la agresión desplazada al volante que con el resto de formas en este contexto) como por contexto (correlacionando más fuertemente con las medidas generales que con las relativas a la conducción). Los resultados sugieren que se trata de una herramienta recomendable para la medición de este constructo.
