    The State Self-Esteem Scale has not been studied in the Spanish population yet. Our objective was to assess the factor structure and internal consistency of the State Self-Esteem Scale (SSES-20 and SSES-6) in a Spanish-speaking sample. The second objective was to determine its convergent and discriminant validity by examining its relationships with varia-bles such as trait self-esteem, social desirability, depression, and anxiety. The sample consisted of 713 Spaniards (77.2% female; Mean Age = 25.32years). Findings suggest that a bifactor model with a general factor and three subdimensions provided a better fit for SSES-20 data. For the SSES-6 version, a hierarchical model with three non-correlated first-order factors and a common hierarchicalfactor was found to be the best fit. All dimensions exhibited moderate to excellent reliability. All factors were positively linked to trait self-esteem and social desirability, while inversely related to depression and state anxiety. Finally, performance, appearance, and social state self-esteem dimensions from SSES-20 negativelypredicted depression and state anxiety using linear regression models. Both Spanish versions, SSES-20 and SSES-6, demonstrated adequate psychometric properties within this sample, suggesting potential generalizability to diverse Spanish populations

    Construction and validation of an Instrument for the evaluation of Critical Thinking in Family Leisure Decision offline and online (ICT_FLD)

    La investigación sobre el Pensamiento Crítico (PC) de las familias sobre el tipo de ocio que comparten necesita de herramientas validadas. El objetivo de este estudio es construir y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de un instrumento para medir el PC de padres, madres y tutores legales respecto al ocio compartido offline y online dentro de la familia. Un total de 740 padres, madres o tutores legales de menores de entre 5 a 12 años respondieron al instrumento diseñado. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento diseñado desde un enfoque cualitativo en la elaboración de los ítems y un proceso de validez de contenido por jueces expertos. Dado el carácter unidimensional de las escalas, se exploró la estructura factorial por medio de componentes principales. Posteriormente, se aplicó un análisis factorial confirmatorio de primer orden para confirmar la estructura factorial conjunta de ambas escalas. El instrumento muestra propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias, aunque los valores de los índices de bondad de ajuste en la escala de ocio familiar compartido offline precisan ser optimizados. Esta herramienta podría valorarse para promover las competencias personales en PC de las familias en cuanto a que incita a reflexionar de manera crítica y pausada sobre el ocio en familia.

    Psychometric properties of the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) among multiple populations: a COSMIN systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Taylor and Francis Group, Taylor and Francis, 2025-01-28) Meseguer Henarejos, Ana Belén; López Pina, José Antonio; López-García, Juan José; Martínez-González-Moro, Ignacio; Fisioterapia
    Purpose: To synthesize evidence regarding psychometric properties of the Mini-Balance evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BeSTest) in assessing postural control. Method: Six databases were searched until October 15th, 2024. Two authors independently assessed the methodological quality and results of studies using the COSMiN checklist and Terweés criteria. The overall quality of the evidence was provided using the modified GRADe approach. Results: Ninety-one studies were included. The Mini-BeSTest showed very good quality and sufficient structural validity (CFi: 0.91–0.99; TLi: 0.888–0.97; RMSeA: 0.05–0.45), internal consistency (α: 0.73–0.97), criterion validity (BeSTest r: 0.65–0.95), convergent validity (e.g., Brief-BeSTest r: 0.85–0.94; rs: 0.73–0.92; Berg Balance scale r: 0.58–0.85) and know-groups validity (AUC: 0.712–0.97; cutoffs: 9.0–22/28). However, the scale showed doubtful quality as well as sufficient and indeterminate reliability (inter-rater iCC: 0.56–0.998; r: 0.98; intra-rater iCC: 0.74–0.964) and measurement error (SeM: 0.45–3.03; MDC95: 1.23–8.40), respectively. Adequate quality and sufficient rating were found in most studies for responsiveness. The quality of evidence was moderate to low for structural validity and criterion validity, high to low for internal consistency, convergent validity, and high to very low for reliability, measurement error, know-groups validity, and responsiveness. Conclusions: Moderate to high quality evidence was found for support structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, criterion validity, hypothesis testing, and responsiveness of the Mini-BeSTest only in some study populations.
