Psychometric Properties of the Affective Dimension of the Generic Macro-Competence Assessment Scale: Analysis Using Rasch Model

The study of the affective dimension transversal competences is essential for development responsible behaviors and maintaining attitudes committed to sustainable development. importance attributed each these factors can predict behavior implementation awareness values that reflect acquisition internalization sustainability-related generic competences. This aimed determine psychometric properties Generic Macro-Competence Assessment (AGMA) scale by applying Rasch measurement model a sample Spanish university students, comprising 387 students (74.9% women; mean age = 21.24; WD 3.54; range: 17–34). Results demonstrated lack adjustment due item 1, all items showed disordered response category thresholds. remaining nine-item achieved requirements (χ2 61.46; p 0.052), including unidimensionality. Thus, scale’s indicate an easy-to-apply instrument screening coping strategies in undergraduate graduate students. results help justifying design interdisciplinary intervention programs, which are education.
