PINERES BOTERO, Carolina Gutiérrez de et al. Assessment Battery for Social Cognition in Forensic Psychology: Adaptation and Validation. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.1, pp. 89-99. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2001.17545.10.

The aim of the study was to adapt and validate a battery for the evaluation of subdomains of social cognition with the forensic population in Colombia and Mexico from a selection of instruments used in clinical neuropsychology. We reviewed the relevance of the subdomains that compose social cognition as evidence of content validity through the assessment of different psychologists, experts in forensic psychology, neuropsychology and measurement and evaluation, using the modified ANGOFF method and a reliability analysis according to the Rasch model and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. Subsequently, a pilot study was performed with 20 people deprived of liberty in Colombian and Mexican prisons. INFIT calibrations of 1.17 and 1.04, and OUTFIT calibrations of 1.08 and 1.18, with separation rates of 2.66 and 1.63, and reliability of .88 and .73 were found in Colombians and Mexicans respectively; these data provide evidence of the validity of the adapted battery.
