          Abstract

          Se presentan datos obtenidos en una muestra de 419 estudiantes universitarios (edad promedio 23 años) a quienes se les administró el cuestionario de síntomas SCL-90-R y una escala para evaluar la Capacidad de Perdonar en cuatro dimensiones (self, otros, situación, creencias) que incluye una pregunta sobre afiliación religiosa. Se verifica que los valores promedios en las dimensiones del SCL-90 corresponden a puntuaciones T 50 del baremo local. Se encontraron diferencias según géneros en las dimensiones depresión, somatizaciones e ideaciones paranoides. Las dimensiones psicopatológicas correlacionan de manera negativa con tres dimensiones del perdonar (self, otros, situación) y positiva con creencias sobre el tema. Los estudiantes más jóvenes revelan síntomas con valores promedios más altos que los mayores de 22 años. El 97% de los estudiantes considera que es importante ser capaces de perdonar. Se ha encontrado una tendencia entre la predisposición a perdonar y el grado de afiliación religiosa.

          Translated abstract

          Data gathered administering the SCL-90-R and a scale to assess tendency to forgive (self, others, situation, believes) to a sample of 419 college students (age Mean 23 years old) are presented. We found that mean values in SCL are that those found in the local normative data. Statistical significant differences between sexes were found in depression, somatizations and paranoid ideations. Younger students show higher mean values in psychopathological symptoms than older ones. Negative correlations between symptoms and three dimensions of forgiveness (self, others, situation) were found as well as positive correlations with believes. 97% of the students participating in the research considered that it is important to be able to forgive. A tendency to relate forgiveness with religious affiliation was verified.

          The problem of structural indeterminacy in multidimensional symptom report instruments. The case of SCL-90-R.

          The factor structure of SCL-90-R items and scales was analyzed using both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results of CFA studies at the item-level failed to support the original nine-factor model, as well as several alternative models and EFA suggested very different dimensionality, depending on which criteria were used. Analyses at the scale-level (i.e. the nine original symptom dimensions) suggested that a one- or two-factor model was satisfactory according to descriptive goodness of fit criteria. However, using the likelihood ratio test, specification of four factors was necessary to avoid rejection. According to the likelihood ratio test in a multi-group analysis, a lack of factorial invariance across gender was indicated. Moreover, the factorial structure of the instrument was clearly different across levels of negative affectivity (NA); the dimensionality was substantially higher in the low-NA group as compared to the high-NA group. It is concluded that we are confronted with a profound structural indeterminacy problem and that factor analytic methods and model acceptance criteria alone are insufficient to solve this problem. The indeterminacy problem can be accounted for, at least in part, by the complex logical-semantical structure of SCL-90-R items and scales and the role of the NA trait as a structure generating factor.
