Análisis factorial confirmatorio del inventario de callo emocional (versión breve: ice-13) en adolescentes mexicanos
Summary: Callous-Unemotional (CU) is a trait that distinguishes children and adolescents with serious behavioral and psychopathic problems that refer to emotional insensitivity, lack of empathy and low response to punishment. One of the instruments used to evaluate these traits is the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU). The main purpose of the present study was to verify the factorial structure of the Inventory Callous-Unemotional in its short version (ICU-13) through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The instrument was applied to 759 young people between 12 and 22 years old, both male (55.7%) and female. The analysis indicated an adequate adjustment for the three dimensions of the instrument: Insensitivity, Carelessness and Inexpressibility, which replicates the results obtained with the original instrument of 24 items. The reliability of the total scale was acceptable (α = .669) and also that of the factors; Insensibility (α = .667, with 6 items), uncaring (α = .636, with 4 items) and Inexpressibility (α = .631, with 3 items). Based on the results obtained, we conclude that ICU-13 is an instrument with adequate psychometric properties that allows the identification of Callous-Unemotional features in adolescents and that may be useful to recognize a subset of young people with serious behavioral problems.
