Abstract

RODRIGUEZ GARCIA, José Miguel. Reliability and validity comparative analysis of two anomie’s scales. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2006, vol.40, n.2, pp. 193-204. ISSN 0034-9690.

A comparative psychometric study of validity and reliability was made for the Anomie’s Srole scale and Anomy’s McClosky and Schaar scale. The reliability of the scales was carrying out by parallel forms and internal consistence methods. For validity was made a content validity, criterion validity and construct validity analysis. The results show that McClosky and Schaar’s scale had a best performance than Srole’s scale in the sample. In spite of this Srole’s scale can be used following a set of recommendations.

Keywords : Anomie; Psychometrics; Scaling (testing).
