Evidence of Validity and Reliability of a Measure of Loneliness in Peruvian Adolescents
In this article evidence of validity was analyzed, based on the internal structure and reliability of the scores of the 11 items of the De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in Peruvian adolescents. The study was carried out with a sample of 851 adolescents (M = 15.07 years old, SD. = 1.5) from...

| description | In this article evidence of validity was analyzed, based on the internal structure and reliability of the scores of the 11 items of the De Jong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in Peruvian adolescents. The study was carried out with a sample of 851 adolescents (M = 15.07 years old, SD. = 1.5) from schools in Metropolitan Lima. Factor analysis showed a two-dimensional oblique structure (social and emotional loneliness) with good indices of goodness of fit (CFI ≥ .90, RMSEA ≤ .08). Reliability was estimated using the omega coefficient (ω = .827), and considered as acceptable (≥ .70). It is concluded that the DJGLS shows adequate psychometric properties and can be considered a brief measure for the study of loneliness in Peruvian adoles-cents. Also, the use of DJGLS with this factorial structure allows a better knowledge of the individual and social factors involved in the development of loneliness. |

En este artículo se analizó la evidencia de validez basada en la estructura interna y la confiabilidad de las puntuaciones de los 11 ítems de la Escala de Soledad De Jong-Gierveld (DJGLS, por sus siglas en inglés) en adolescentes peruanos. Se trabajó con una muestra de 851 adolescentes (M = 15.07 años, DE = 1.5), estudiantes de colegios de Lima Metropolitana. El análisis factorial mostró una estructura bidimensional oblicua (soledad social y emocional) con buenos índices de bondad de ajuste (CFI ≥ .90, RMSEA ≤ .08). La confiabilidad fue estimada mediante el coeficiente omega (ω = .827), y considerada como aceptable (≥ .70). Se concluye que la DJGLS muestra propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y puede ser considerada una medida breve para el estudio de la soledad en los adolescentes peruanos. Además, el uso de la DJGLS en base a esta estructura factorial oblicua permitirá ampliar el conocimiento de los factores individuales y sociales que participan en el desarrollo de la soledad.
