Factor Structure of the STAXI-2-AX and its Relationship to Burnout in Housewives
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 January 2013
Abstract
This study was conducted in order to determine factor structure and reliability of STAXI-2-AX/EX (Spielberger, 1999) and to calculate the correlation between STAXI-2-AX/EX and the Housewives Burnout Questionnaire (CUBAC). The study sample included 226 housewives. Dimensional structure was estimated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Factor analysis results of STAXI-2-AX/EX showed that a four related factors model had an adequate goodness of fit, eliminating three items. Regarding the CUBAC, a two related factors structure presented the best goodness of fit, which improve if five items were eliminated. Finally, as we expected, the correlation between the two scales was positive (r = .38. We suggest that this study should be replicated in other countries.
Los objetivos de este estudio eran determinar la estructura factorial y consistencia interna del STAXI-2-AX/EX de Spielberger (1999) y calcular su correlación con el Cuestionario de Burnout para Amas de Casa (CUBAC). Se trabajó con una muestra de 226 amas de casa. La estructura dimensional se determinó por análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. El modelo de 4 factores relacionados mostró una bondad de ajuste adecuada para el STAXI-2-AX/EX, aunque se eliminaron 3 ítems. Analizado los 21 ítems del CUBAC, una estructura de dos factores relacionados presentó la mejor bondad de ajuste, mejorando si se eliminaban 5 ítems. Como se esperaba las dos escalas tenían correlación directa (r = .38) Se sugiere replicar el estudio en otros países.
