Resumen

La emoción expresada es un constructo que hasta ahora ha sido estudiado en poblaciones clínicas, aunque este estudio se propone su estudio en poblaciones adolescentes sin ninguna psicopatología. Este estudio tiene tres objetivos: 1) Analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Nivel de Emoción Expresada para adolescentes españoles en su relación con su padre y su madre, considerando diferentes formatos de respuesta (dicotómico y politómico); 2) Desarrollar una versión corta de la escala; 3) Estudiar la validez de la escala como medida del clima emocional en familias normativas. La muestra estuvo compuesta de 827 adolescentes de entre 12 y 17 años. El análisis de datos incluyó análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios y modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados sugieren una estructura de cuatro factores para la versión corta, compuesta por 16 ítems, con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas. La escala se presenta como una herramienta innovadora y apropiada para la evaluación del clima emocional familiar, tanto para el ámbito clínico como para el de investigación.
