Initial assessment of attitudes towards reporting cyber-harassment in children and adolescents

This study aimed to validate the initial scale of atti-tudes toward reporting cyber-harassment in children-ado-lescents among people from the Colombian general com-munity. An instrumental study was developed, which was reached in two non-probabilistic samples (n1 = 220, n2 = 204). With the first one, a Robust Exploratory Factor Anal-ysis (EFA) was performed, finding a unidimensional 7-item solution (RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .05, CFI = .99, and TLI = .99). A Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted in the second sample, finding an optimal fit (RMSEA = .03, SRMR = .04, CFI = .96, TLI = .95). In both models, opti-mal reliability indices were obtained. The total score was crossed with socio-demographics, finding some real signif-icant difference. Software Factor and R with different pack-ages were used.
