Description
- Abstract
-
EHS consists of six factors for the measurement of social skills and assertive ability. To do this, a total of 33 items are used that respond to a Likert-type scale with four response options, resulting in an effective instrument for its application both in the clinical setting and in the educational context.
- Psychometric characteristics
-
Attending the validation studies of the original questionnaire, it is concluded that it is a reliable instrument, although the reliability indices by factor show low values. Likewise, in its use in other samples it is suggested to consider the modification of the factorial structure proposed in its beginning to be replaced by a general construct that evaluates social skills
- No. of items
-
It consists of 33 items, of which 28 are written in the opposite direction to detect the lack of assertion or lack of social skills, and five directly. They are answered through four response alternatives
