abstract = {One of the constructs that have been studied in recent years as predictors of academic performance is the grit factor. In the
present research, two studies were conducted with the aim of adapting and validating the Grit-O scale to a Colombian context,
as well as determining the Grit-S scale's criterion validity by means of academic performance in university students. In the
first study (n=500), an exploratory factor analysis was performed using an Unweighted Least Squares Extraction Method and
a confirmatory factor analysis through a maximum likelihood extraction method. The analysis yielded adequate validity and
reliability indexes for the two scales (Grit-O and Grit-S) -Grit- S being the one with the best fit indexes-, and the distribution of
items per scale factor coincided with the original validation. However, the two factors (perseverance of effort and consistency
of interest) were not grouped under the grit construct. In the second study (n=89), the relationship between the score obtained
on the Grit-S scale and different academic performance indicators (grade point average, number of failed subjects, among others) was observed. For this purpose, a correlation and multiple linear regression analysis was performed. Findings show moderate correlations between the Grit-S scale total score and its two components, with the measures of academic performance. In
the regression analysis, the total score was found to be a better predictor of academic performance (0.016 **) than the score
of each of the scale components separately. Finally, the discussion compares the findings with validations carried out in other
countries and gives some recommendations regarding the use of the grit scale},
abstract = {El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el efecto de la guía de intervención “Habilidades Sociales en Adolescentes, una Guía de Intervención Grupal diseñada para adolescentes de 12 a 17 años”, en una institución educativa pública en el municipio de Chía, Colombia. La muestra de participantes estuvo conformada por 56 jóvenes, que fueron divididos en un grupo experimental a quienes se les aplicó la guía, y un grupo de comparación, quienes no recibieron ningún entrenamiento.
Se realizó aplicación pre-test y pos-test de la Lista de Chequeo de Habilidades Sociales de Goldstein a ambos grupos con el fin de determinar los efectos de la guía. Los resultados arrojaron diferencias significativas en las medidas del grupo experimental, evidenciándose una mejora en las habilidades sociales en este grupo, mientras que en el grupo comparación no se evidenciaron cambios significativos, demostrando la eficacia de la guía, recomendando su replicación en otros contextos.},
