Abstract

Abstract

Aim: To establish the factorial structure underlying the items of the AF5 Self-Concept Scale. Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. To carry it out, a validation study of the instrument was performed with 1,382 students from three major universities located in a city in the central region of the country. Two out of the three universities were private, the sample was composed by 798 women and 588 men. Results: Adequate psychometric properties were found for the test, as well as a six-dimensional structure of the construct, from which the physical self-concept seemed to be subdivided into two dimensions: physical condition and physical attractiveness, this dimension behaving as two independent factors. Conclusions: The AF5 is presented as a solid instrument with adequate psychometric properties to be used in samples of Colombian college students.
