Abstract

The Psychometric properties of the Psychological maturity questionnaire PSYMAS) and its descriptive analysis were determined. The design was technological-psychometric. The probabilistic sample at random (n=514) and stratified of a population (N = 2835) Youth Leaders. For the congruent validity (n  126), reliability test re test (n = 100) and descriptive analysis (n = 285). For the content validity, the stratigraphy was the Vindex of Aiken, for the construct validity he item -test stratigraphy and factorial analysis, congruent validity with Spearman stratigraphy. Reliability for stability the test-rates coefficient and for internal consistency the Cronbach’s alpha. The results show clearly that SYMAS has content validity established by judge’s criteria possessing relevance, clarity and coherence of the theoretical construct. Validity of the Item-scale construct rectified. Correlation indexes that are very meaningful (p <.01) with the global test, very good levels of discrimination that range between 361and 748.The factorial analysis ratifies the structure proposed by the authors, he adjustment goodness-of-fit responds to the model indexes being very good at work and identity orientation scales and good at Autonomy dimension.
