"Validación inicial de la escala revisada de Consideración de las Consecuencias Futuras"

Abstract
Resumen

La Escala de Consideración de las Consecuencias Futuras (CFC) evalúa el grado que las personas son influenciadas por las consecuencias inmediatas o distantes de sus comportamientos. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar una validación inicial de versión en castellano de la  escala CFC-14 en una muestra aleatoria, y comprobar su validez predictiva respecto al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y del nivel educativo. Los resultados demuestran que la escala tiene una consistencia interna aceptable, pero no se logran indicadores satisfactorios para la estructura de dos factores. Se comprueba que a mayor CFC-F menor consumo de sustancias psicoactivas y mayor nivel educativo. Los resultados son interpretados a la luz de las características aleatorias de la muestra y las posibles fuentes de error.

 
Abstract

The Consideration of Future Consequences (CFC) Scale measures the degree that people are influence by the immediate or distant consequences of their behaviour. The aim of this study is to validate the CFC -14 scale in spanish in a random sample, and test their predictive validity with the use of psychoactive substances and educational level. The results show that the scale has a good internal consistency, but we could not achieve satisfactory indicators for the two factor solution. In addition, people with high score in CFC-F has less consumption of psychoactive substances and higher educational level. Results are interpreted taking into account the randomization of the sample and possible error measurement.
