Criterion validity of the test of the person in the rain in students from a private university in Lima

Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the criterion validity of the Test of the person in the rain in a sample of university students from a private university in North Lima, since the research does not involve manipulation of variables but the observation of information about the psychometric properties of the test (TPBLL), at a specific and unique moment. The research is non experimental-transversal, in a sample of 256 students, the areas of the SISCO Academic Stress Inventory were correlated with the stress indicators of the TPBLL proposed by Willis, Joy and Kaiser (2010) and the quantitative scale of the TPBLL of Moro, Lema and Longo (2003). To carry out this validity, the Stress Symptoms indicator of the person under rain test was analyzed, together with the Stress symptom indicator of the SISCO test, where a Pearson correlation was made, where it was found that both indicators are not related. (p> 0.05, r = 0.13), in terms of Efficacy indicators of the defense mechanisms, were correlated with the coping strategies of the SISCO test, where it was observed that they have no relationship (p> 0 , 05; r = 0.05). consequently, there is no significant relationship between the quantitative indicators of the TPBLL and the scores of the SISCO academic stress inventory
