Resum

La competencia social y el comportamiento antisocial del niño son variables de gran interés para los investigadores y los educadores. No obstante, son pocos los instrumentos de evaluación disponibles que miden ambos constructos en niños pequeños. El objetivo del estudio, pues, es examinar la validez estructural del Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scale for Teachers and Caregivers (PKBS-2) con el fi n de comprobar el modelo teórico que mejor se ajusta a los datos obtenidos en una muestra española. En el estudio participan 1.509 alumnos (741 niños y 768 niñas) de Educación Infantil de 3 y a 6 años de edad (media= 3,78; DT= 0,815). Los datos se analizaron con el programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 17.0) y el programa Structural Equations Program (EQS 6.1). Tanto el modelo de habilidades sociales como el de problemas de conducta resultantes presentan valores de ajuste adecuados, saturaciones estadísticamente signifi cativas e índices de consistencia interna (coefi ciente alfa) elevados. Finalmente, se obtiene un modelo estructural de dos factores. Un primer factor de habilidades sociales compuesto por tres variables (cooperación social, interacción social e independencia social) y un segundo factor sobre problemas de conducta con dos variables (exteriorización de problemas e interiorización de problemas).
