Sentido de comunidad, BSCS, Colombia, Barrios, Propiedades psicométricas, Estatus socioeconómicoResumen
Se buscó analizar las propiedades psicométricas del BSCS en colombianos que residían en Barranquilla - norte de Colombia, teniendo en cuenta la categorización en estratos socioeconómicos de los barrios en la ciudad. Se quería observar si el modelo teórico de cuatro factores se mantenía o no en este contexto, y si la variable estrato socioeconómico de los barrios podía afectar su puntuación. Se encuestó a 858 personas: 491 mujeres, 367 hombres con edades de 18 a 82 años (M =31.2 años, DE= 14.6). Se utilizó un análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio para examinar la estructura de los factores, y la igualdad de los parámetros del BSCS entre los grupos de barrios con alta y baja categorización socioeconómica. Se encontró que, de tres modelos en comparación, el modelo de un factor de segundo orden que explica las cuatro dimensiones del sentido de comunidad (SC), brindó el mejor ajuste a los datos y responde mejor al modelo de McMillan y Chavis (1986). Las medidas de confiabilidad interna fueron ω de .92 y α de .91. Se propone una norma de corrección calculada para la matriz de correlación Policórica, donde las puntuaciones más altas indican un mayor SC. Se termina identificando que el SC es mucho mayor en los barrios de estratos socioeconómicos altos y medios con respecto a los barrios de estratos bajos.
