Resumen

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue diseñar y validar una escala tipo Likert para medir identidad regional. Para esto se aplicó un instrumento de 38 ítems a 249 estudiantes seleccionados en forma aleatoria de las universidades de la Región de la Araucanía, Chile. Utilizando el análisis de ítems, el cálculo de la fiabilidad del instrumento y análisis factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio, se eliminó ítems hasta construir una escala final de 13 afirmaciones, las que presentaron altos niveles de discriminación, una adecuada fiabilidad, correlación significativa con criterios externos y una estructura interna coherente con la teoría, aunque no totalmente ajustada a los datos. Finalmente, a partir de esta información, se discute acerca de la estructura de la identidad regional.

Abstract

The objective of the present research was to design and validate a Likert-type scale to measure regional identity. To do so, an instrument of 38 items was applied to 249 randomly chosen students from universities of the Araucania region in Chile. Using item analysis, instrument reliability calculation, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, items were eliminated until building a final scale of 13 assertions, which presented high levels of discrimination, adequate reliability, significant correlation with external criteria and an internal structure consistent with the theory, although not totally adjusted to the data. Finally, from this information, the structure of the regional identity is discussed.
