Description
- Abstract
-
ESACTA is an instrument for measuring the adolescent's attitude towards the specific use of tobacco through three factors: attitudinal disposition towards use, index of dislike towards tobacco and perception of satisfaction through the use of tobacco. To do this, 13 items are used on a Likert-type scale with five response options
- Psychometric characteristics
-
The three factors that make up the scale explain 58.51% of the variance, as well as adequate values of test-retest reliability (r> .4, p <.01). In addition, the exploratory factor analysis confirms equal or superior values of variance explained with respect to the original versions of the scales
- No. of items
-
It consists of 13 items that are answered on a Likert scale with five response options ranging from 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree'
