Resumen

Nuestra investigación tuvo como objetivo validar la Escala de Prosocialidad (PS) entre adolescentes portugueses. Intentamos examinar su estructura factorial, la invarianza del modelo según el sexo biológico, la confiabilidad y la asociación con variables sociodemográficas y otras variables relevantes. Nuestra muestra incluyó a 454 adolescentes de 13 a 17 años que completaron medidas de autoinforme que evaluaban la flexibilidad psicológica, las emociones negativas, la salud mental y el comportamiento prosocial. El PS demostró una estructura bifactorial que comprende un factor latente (prosocialidad) y dos factores específicos (acciones y sentimientos). Mostró consistencia interna y confiabilidad test-retest satisfactorias.

Además, mostró correlaciones positivas con la flexibilidad psicológica y la salud mental, mientras que se correlacionaba negativamente con estados afectivos negativos. El PS surgió como un instrumento válido y confiable para medir conductas prosociales, y promete ser aplicado como herramienta de detección en entornos educativos y clínicos. También puede facilitar la evaluación de intervenciones destinadas a fomentar una conducta prosocial.
