| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to establish the psychomet-ric properties of the Bell Adjustment Inventory for adoles-cents (Bell, 1934), an instrument that aims to operationalize the degree of adaptation in adolescents in different relevant areas of their development. The study was conducted on a sample of 569 adolescents between 12 and 18 years old re-siding in the city of Bogota, Colombia. The results showed evidence of construct validity through a factor analysis by keeping its structure of four adjustment dimensions that correspond with family, health, social and emotional. The internal consistency of each dimension was evaluated by calculating the Cronbach alphas. Also, differences depend-ing on sex and age were studied. The results indicated a proper psychometric functioning of the instrument and ev-idences of construct validity were obtained as well as evi-dences of good internal consistency. |
