Adaptación al español y propiedades psicométricas de la escala The Pragmatics Profile

Abstract

The main aim of this study was the translation into Spanish of The Pragmatics Profile scale (Dewart y Summers, 1995) and its adaptation to be used as a questionnaire, as well as the analysis of its psychometric properties. This questionnaire was administered to 185 children between the ages of 6 and 48 months. The results of the Discriminant Analysis and Exploratory Factorial Analysis showed a high reliability of the scale, a great capacity to classify children from different age groups, and an essentially unifactorial structure. Measurements are provided by age, and the lack of correlation between the original three-axis theoretical model and the essentially unifactorial model obtained from Factorial Analysis is discussed.
