Descripción
During the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) has become one of the main psycho-metric instruments used in research globally. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Argentinian version of the FCV-19S. More specifically, the study analyzed and com-pared different possible models in order to determine which inter-nal structure fits better for the Argentinian FCV-19S. The sample comprised 505 adults from Argentina between 18 and 85 years (M = 45.44 years; SD = 17.08), of both genders (males = 33.5%; females = 66.5%). The results provided empirical support for a bi-factor structure with a general factor (α = .89) and two specific factors, that is, emotional response (α = .87) and physiological re-sponse (α = .83). Additionally, the associations between the FCV-19S and the Brief Fear of Death Scale (BFODS) provide evidence of validity related to other variables.
Durante la pandemia provocada por el SARS-CoV-2, la Escala de Miedo al COVID-19 (FCV-19S) se ha convertido en uno de los principales instrumentos psicométricos utilizados en investigación a nivel mundial. El presente estudio examinó las propiedades psicométricas de la versión argentina de la FCV-19S. Más específcamente, el estudio analizó y comparó diferentes modelos posibles con el fn de determinar qué estructura interna encaja mejor para la versión argentina de la FCV-19S. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 505 adultos argentinos de entre 18 y 85 años (M = 45.44 años; DE = 17.08), de ambos sexos (hombres = 33.5%; mujeres = 66.5%). Los resultados proporcionaron soporte empírico de la existencia de una estructura bifactorial con un factor general (α = .89) y dos factores específcos, es decir, respuesta emocional (α = .87) y respuesta fsiológica (α = .83). Además, las asociaciones entre la FCV-19S y la Escala Abreviada de Miedo a la Muerte (BFODS) proporcionan evidencia de validez relacionada con otras variables.
