    La escala Cisneros es un cuestionario desarrollado por el profesor Iñaki Piñuel de carácter autoadministrado compuesto por 43 ítems que objetivan y valoran 43 conductas de acoso psicológico. Dicho cuestionario forma parte del Barómetro CISNEROS® (Cuestionario Individual sobre PSicoterror, Negación, Estigmatización y Rechazo en Organizaciones Sociales), integrado por una serie de escalas cuyo objetivo es sondear de manera periódica el estado, y las consecuencias, de la violencia en el entorno laboral de las organizaciones. En el presente trabajo se estudia la fiabilidad, validez y dimensionalidad de la escala Cisneros, empleando datos obtenidos en una muestra de 1.303 trabajadores pertenecientes a un gran número de sectores de actividad. Los resultados indican que la escala Cisneros tiene una elevada fiabilidad (.96), una estructura bidimensional que permite ordenar sus ítems a lo largo de dos dimensiones (Ámbito de la conducta de acoso y Tipo de conducta de acoso), y que presenta relaciones teóricamente esperables con escalas que miden Autoestima, Burnout, Depresión, Abandono profesional y Estrés postraumático. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una buena capacidad para discriminar entre diversos grados de acoso y, por consiguiente, la utilidad de la escala como indicador de la gravedad e intensidad del daño infligido a la víctima

    Cisneros scale to assess psychological harassment or mobbing at work. The Cisneros scale is a self-managed questionnaire developed by Iñaki Piñuel that contains 43 items in a seven-point Likert response scale. The range is from never (0) to daily (6). Items deal with 43 different behaviours related to bullying, harassment and emotional abuse in the workplace. The scale forms part of a more extensive instrument, the CISNEROS Barometer ¿ (Cuestionario Individual sobre PSicoterror, Negación, Estigmatización y Rechazo en Organizaciones Sociales; Individual Questionnaire on Psychoterror, Mobbing, Stigmatization and Rejection in Social Organizations), which includes 3 scales for exploring periodically the content and development of violence and harassment in the workplace in Spain. In this paper we analyze the reliability, validity and dimensionality of the Cisneros scale using data from a sample of 1.303 workers from different sectors. Results show that Cisneros has very high reliability (0.96) and a bidimensional structure that includes «Locus of bullying behaviour» and «Type of bullying behaviour», and that it presents expected and statistically significant correlations with scales measuring Self-esteem, Burnout, Depression, Intention to leave, and Post-traumatic Stress. It is concluded that Cisneros is capable of discriminating between different levels of bullying and harassment at work and can be considered a valuable tool to examine and establish the frequency and damage of mobbing at organizational or individual level.
