• Resumen

  • El uso de las redes sociales por parte de adolescentes está bastante extendido actualmente. Esto posibilita el desarrollo de programas de evaluación y promoción de la salud mediante dichas vías, si se conservan garantías psicométricas en su uso. Este estudio pretendía comprobar si la “Escala revisada de ansiedad y depresión infantil” (RCADS) mantenía sus propiedades psicométricas originales cuando era aplicado mediante una red social. Una muestra de 703 adolescentes (M= 13,86 años; DT= 0,49) completaron la escala en formato tradicional o en una red social. Se evaluaron dos tipos de equivalencia entre formatos: equivalencia cuantitativa (distribución de las puntuaciones entre formatos) y cualitativa o conceptual (patrones de intercorrelaciones e invarianza de medida entre formatos). No se encontraron diferencias de las escalas en el formato tradicional y en una red social. Además, el patrón de intercorrelaciones entre factores fue similar y se observó invarianza de medida entre formatos. En conclusión, la versión en red social de la RCADS mostró propiedades psicométricas equivalentes a la tradicional, destacándose la aplicabilidad en estas plataformas.
