Abstract
The aim of current article was the adaptation and validation of the Adolescents’ Perceived Collective Family Efficacy Scale (EFCP/A) in the Spanish context. The sample includes 486 adolescents. Psychometric properties of the EFCP/A were examined with exploratory factor analysis, item analysis and reliability. Construct validity was examined by means of correlations with parental relationships (PBI). The correlations with drug use (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis) and coping strategies were also examined. Results supported the unidimensionality and reliability of the EFCP/A scale in the Spanish context. As hypothesised, adolescents’ beliefs in collective family efficacy are highly correlated with the quality of their paternal and maternal relationships. Further, the adolescents who are convinced that their family is efficacious display more productive coping strategies and less drug use.
Adaptación española de la escala de Eficacia Colectiva Familiar Percibida por los Adolescentes (EFCP/A). El objetivo de este artículo fue la adaptación y validación en el contexto español de la escala de eficacia colectiva familiar percibida por los adolescentes (EFCP/A). La muestra incluye 486 adolescentes. Fueron examinadas las propiedades psicométricas del EFCP/A por medio de un análisis factorial exploratorio, el análisis de ítems y la fiabilidad. La validez de constructo fue examinada a través de las correlaciones encontradas con las relaciones mantenidas por los adolescentes con padres y madres. También se analizaron las relaciones de la escala con el uso de drogas (tabaco, alcohol y cannabis) y con las estrategias de afrontamiento. Los resultados apoyan la unidimensionalidad y la fiabilidad de la escala EFCP/A en el contexto español. Como se hipotetizaba, las creencias de los adolescentes sobre la eficacia familiar colectiva están altamente correlacionadas con la calidad de las relaciones con padres y madres. Además, los adolescentes que creen que su familia es eficaz usan estrategias de afrontamiento más productivas y presentan un menor consumo de drogas.
