| description | A study was conducted in order to validate the Boredom Coping Scales and test its psychometric properties on a sample of Argentinean university students (namely BCS-AR). The BCS-AR, adapted into Spanish, was applied to a sample of students at National University of Córdoba and the National Technological University (N = 250). Internal consistency was estimated through Cronbach's alpha (?). Evidence about the test's internal structure was obtained from evaluating and comparing three measurement models for boredom coping strategies. Criterion validity evidence was provided by bivariate correlations with task value, attention, academic boredom and enjoyment. The scales showed acceptable internal consistency scores (between ? = .69 and ? = .92). The four factor model showed an acceptable fit (?2/df = 1.65, CFI = .95, GFI = .91, RMSEA = 0.051). Test criterion evidence partially corresponded to the expected results. Results are discussed within the framework of control-value theory of achievement emotions and boredom coping. |

Se realizó un estudio para validar las Escalas de Afrontamiento del Aburrimiento y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de Argentina (BCS-AR). La BCS-AR, adaptada al español, se aplicó a una muestra de estudiantes en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba y la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (N = 250). La consistencia interna se estimó mediante el alfa de Cronbach (α). Se obtuvo evidencia de la estructura interna al evaluar y comparar tres modelos de medición de estrategias de afrontamiento del aburrimiento. Se aportó evidencia de validez criterio mediante correlaciones bivariadas con valor de la tarea, atención, aburrimiento y disfrute académico. Las escalas demostraron valores aceptables de consistencia interna (α = .69 hasta α = .92). El modelo de cuatro factores relacionados demostró un ajuste aceptable (χ2/df = 1.65, CFI = .95, GFI = .91, RMSEA = 0.051). La evidencia test criterio se correspondió parcialmente con los resultados esperados. Se discuten los resultados en el marco de la teoría control-valor de las emociones de logro y del afrontamiento del aburrimiento.
