García, Felipe E. Valdivieso, Isabel Patricia psicología positiva análisis factorial confirmatorio desastre natural terremoto In the study of human behavior concerning the ex-position to highly stressful events, psychology has taken a leap forward, studying not only the negative effects of such events, but also the knowledge a person may gain from them, which is known as posttraumatic growth. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) in a sample of 450 adult survivors of the earthquake that took place on the Ecuadorian coast in 2016. The PTGI showed high internal consistency (α = .95). The confirmatory factor analysis dis-played an appropriate adjustment for a bifactor structure consisting of three specific factors and one general factor. Furthermore, the PTGI showed a factorial invariance when comparing men and women. We could conclude that the PTGI is a reliable and internally valid instrument for the study of posttraumatic growth in Ecuadorian population. Dentro del estudio del comportamiento humano ante la exposición a un evento altamente estresante, la psicología ha dado un salto al estudiar no sólo sus efectos negativos sino también el aprendizaje que la persona puede extraer de dichas vivencias, lo que se denomina crecimiento postraumático. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario de Crecimiento Postraumático (PTGI) en una muestra de 450 adultos sobrevivientes al terremoto ocurrido en el año 2016 en las costas de Ecuador. El PTGI reveló una alta consistencia interna (α = .95). El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró un ajuste apropiado para una estructura bifactor de tres factores específicos y un factor general. El PTGI además mostró invarianza factorial al comparar hombres y mujeres. Se concluye que el PTGI es un instrumento confiable y con validez interna para investigar el crecimiento postraumático en población ecuatoriana. Facultad de Psicología.
