Descripción
Sumario:The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Perception of Infidelity in Social Networks Scale. A total of 300 Puerto Rican adults participated in this psychometric study. The sample was selected by availability. The results confirmed that the scale has a one-dimensional structure. A total of 12 items complied with the criteria of discrimination and presented appropriate factor loadings. The reliability index for the final version was .98 (Cronbach’s alpha). These results suggest that the Perception of Infidelity in Social Networks Scale has the potential to measure this construct among Puerto Rican adults. Likewise, the scale will advance further research of cyber-infidelity in Puerto Rican and Latin American couples.
