• Resumen

  • En la investigación sobre el desarrollo de la competencia social en los niños hay un reducido número de instrumentos en español que cumplan con los requisitos básicos de confiabilidad validez. El propósito principal del presente artículo fue establecer las propiedades psicométricas de una escala que permite evaluar la competencia social de los niños de los 3 a los 6 años en 5 ámbitos: orientación prosocial (OP), Autocontrol (AU), Iniciativa Social (IS), Habilidades de Interacción (HI) y Habilidades Asertivas (HA). Se encontraron altos índices de consistencia interna y una estructura factorial congruente con los resultados obtenidos por el autor del instrumento. Los resultados indican que la escala cumple con los criterios de confiabilidad, validez de contenido y validez de constructo con la cual se constituyen una herramienta útil para evaluar la competencia social de los niños por parte de los profesores.
