Résumé
"With the purpose of examining the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Index of Spouse Abuse (ISA), this scale was applied to 813 Peruvian women, along with the Double Standard Scale, the Rape Supportive Attitude Scale, and the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SLC-90-R). Participants were distributed into three different samples: women in the general population (n = 300), women who had not reported abuse (n = 300) and women who had reported abuse (n = 213). After testing seven different factor structures of the ISA through confirmatory factor analysis, this instrumental study proposes a 19-item abbreviated version clustered into two subscales (Nonphysical abuse and Physical abuse) with excellent indices of internal consistency reliability (.93 and .89, respectively). Scores on both subscales showed significant positive correlations with the double standard scale, rape supportive attitudes, and psychopathological dimensions of the SCL90-R. Likewise, scores on the ISA showed that women with a lower educational level and less skilled jobs are subject to more partner abuse. Cut-off point scores for detecting both physical and nonphysical partner abuse are proposed."
