Hypothesis
The Multidimensional Fairness Scale (MFS) has a multidimensional structure and adequate reliability among Chilean university students.
Conclusion
The study found that the MFS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring fairness in various life domains among Chilean university students.
Supporting Evidence
- The MFS was validated in a sample of 377 Chilean university students.
- Goodness-of-fit indices indicated a three-factor model was appropriate.
- Reliability indices for the MFS were found to be acceptable.
Takeaway
This study created a questionnaire to help understand how fair people feel in different parts of their lives, like at school or work, especially for students in Chile.
Methodology
A cross-sectional study using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the scale's structure and reliability.
Potential Biases
Potential biases due to non-probabilistic convenience sampling.
Limitations
The sample was limited to university students from Temuco, which may not represent the entire Chilean population.
Participant Demographics
Participants included 240 females (63.7%), 130 males (34.5%), and 7 others (1.8%), with a mean age of 21.5 years.
