Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the properties of ICAP in a population of Chilean students. Following the original instructions, ICAP was applied to a probabilistic sample of parents or caregivers, of the Chilean regions of Valparaiso, Metropolitana, Libertador Gral. Bernardo O'Higgins, Bio Bio, La Araucania and Los Lagos, consisted of a total of 1,670 children and adolescents of both sexes (49.3% men and 50.7% women) with a mean age of 10.23 years (SD=2.95). The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of ICAP, shows that the factor loadings of the items are clear and adequate levels of reliability was also observed for the four dimensions of the construct. It is concluded that the ICAP presents psychometric qualities and therefore it can be used in Chilean population.
