Emotional Exhaustion Scale: Psychometric Analysis in Postgraduate Students in Puerto Rico

This research analyzes the psychometric properties of the Emotional Exhaustion Scale and confirms the unifactorial structure of the scale. 442 master’s and doctoral students from 21 to 55 years old participated in the research (M = 29.52; DE = 5.63). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, inv...

Description
Summary:This research analyzes the psychometric properties of the Emotional Exhaustion Scale and confirms the unifactorial structure of the scale. 442 master’s and doctoral students from 21 to 55 years old participated in the research (M = 29.52; DE = 5.63). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, invariance analysis and internal consistency analysis were performed. Factor analyses confirmed theunidimensional structure of the scale (appropriate fit indexes), and Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients were adequate (α = .883; ω = .883). It was concluded that the Emotional Exhaustion Scale has good psychometric properties to be used in postgraduate students in Puerto Rico and is a practical and helpful tool for clinical and academic work in universities. The practical implications and limitations of the findings are discussed.
