Abstract
dc.description.abstract
With the objective of theoretically and psychometrically updating
the Regional Identity Scale (RIS) proposed by Zúñiga and Asún in 2004 and
expanding the population for which it shows evidence of validity, a revision
and revalidation of this instrument was performed via two studies. The first
study included 1,113 university students from four regions of Chile, and the
second included 1,200 adults from the same regions. Both samples were
obtained via a random design through multistage conglomerates. The results
enable us to propose a new version of the original scale (RIS-2) with suitable
reliability indexes, solid evidence of both convergent validity and internal
structure validity, and items with satisfactory psychometric quality.
Furthermore, we verify the presence of a multifactor structure with three
highly correlated dimensions. We conclude that the RIS-2 is a reliable, valid
and conceptually broader instrument than the preceding version, so it is a
useful tool to measure the intensity of regional identity in both university
students and the adult population.
