El Autoconcepto como constructo psicológico: análisis de validez convergente del AF-5
Contar con instrumentos psicológicos válidos y confiables es fundamental para garantizar evaluaciones precisas y decisiones profesionales basadas en evidencia. En este contexto, el presente estudio surge como una contribución a la necesidad de fortalecer los recursos psicométricos disponibles en nuestra comunidad académica y profesional. El objetivo fue evaluar la validez convergente de una versión digital del Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Forma-5 (AF-5; García & Musitu) con referencia a las habilidades sociales, la ansiedad social, la autoestima y el rendimiento académico. Se desarrolló una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo y alcance correlacional, aplicada a 142 estudiantes de pregrado en Psicología de diferentes semestres de la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, sede Bello. Se utilizaron los instrumentos AF-5 (García & Musitu), CHASO versión III (Caballo), SIAS (Mattick & Clarke) y la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Los datos se codificaron y analizaron mediante el software Jamovi, empleando los coeficientes de correlación Spearman (ρ) y Pearson (r), mientras que las visualizaciones se elaboraron en Tableau Public para facilitar la interpretación.
Los resultados mostraron correlaciones significativas entre el autoconcepto, la autoestima y las habilidades sociales, así como una tendencia positiva entre el autoconcepto físico y el rendimiento académico o laboral. Aunque las variaciones entre coeficientes fueron mínimas, las relaciones se mantuvieron consistentes, respaldando la validez convergente del instrumento digital. Finalmente, se resalta la importancia de continuar investigando y promover el uso de herramientas adaptadas al contexto actual, que fortalezcan la práctica psicológica y la investigación educativa.
Abstract Having valid and reliable psychological instruments is essential to ensure accurate assessments and evidence-based professional decisions. In this context, the present study emerges as a contribution to the need to strengthen the psychometric resources available within our academic and professional community. The objective was to evaluate the convergent validity of a digital version of the Self-Concept Questionnaire Form-5 (AF-5; García & Musitu) with reference to social skills, social anxiety, self-esteem, and academic performance. A quantitative, correlational research design was applied to 142 undergraduate psychology students from different semesters at Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, Bello campus. The instruments used were the AF-5 (García & Musitu), CHASO Version III (Caballo), SIAS (Mattick & Clarke), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Data were coded and analyzed using the Jamovi software, applying Spearman’s (ρ) and Pearson’s (r) correlation coefficients, while visualizations were created in Tableau Public to facilitate interpretation. Results showed significant correlations between self-concept, self-esteem, and social skills, as well as a positive trend between physical self-concept and academic or work performance. Although variations between coefficients were minimal, the relationships remained consistent, supporting the convergent validity of the digital instrument. Finally, the importance of continuing research and promoting the use of tools adapted to the current context is highlighted, as they strengthen both psychological practice and educational research.
