Review and Psychometric analyses of the Interpersonal Trust Scale for Argentinean children
Revisión y análisis psicométrico de la Escala de Confianza interpersonal para niños argentinos
Main Article Content
On 2004, Sacchi published a scale to assess interpersonal trust in Argentinean boys and girls (SITS-children). Her work constituted one of the first initiatives in our country developed to study this variable, which represents a crucial ingredient for healthy social development. However, the first psychometric results were not adequate, and the author suggested to carry on further analyses. This study aimed to review and analyze the psychometric properties of SITS-children to contribute new evidence of its reliability and validity. In the first step, the dichotomic answer scale was replaced by a five-point one, and the filling items were removed. Secondly, the measure was administrated to 343 boys and girls (M= 10.93; SD= 1.24) who were students from fourth to the seventh grade of primary schools of the province of Misiones (Argentina). The Exploratory Factor Analysis landed on a binary structure “Trust-Distrust”. Each factor included 8 items and presented an admissible internal consistency for children population (ω Trust = .69; ω Distrust = .67). To assess the nomological validity, the scores on the SITS-children were correlated with a measure of attachment and significative relations were found between Trust and Secure Attachment (r = .27; p < .001), and between Distrust and Avoidant (r = .32; p < .001) and Anxious/Ambivalent Attachment (r = .32; p < .001). As a conclusion, the SITS-children showed an acceptable functioning in Argentinean children, but it is advisable to continue the evaluation of its psychometric properties. Finally, some limitations and suggestions for future studies are presented
