We present the results of the adaptation of the IHS-Del-Prette (Inventario de Habilidades Sociales, in English, Social Skills Inventory) to a sample of Argentinean college students. Firstly, we addressed the backward translation and carried out an equivalence study of the Portuguese and Spanish versions of the scale. The results showed the two versions were equivalent, as we obtained correlations lower than .50 in only 5 items. Secondly, we performed item analysis by calculating discrimination indexes and item-total correlations. Results indicated that the items are sensitive to differentiate between high and low social-skill groups. Exploratory factor analysis carried out with a sample of 602 college students yielded five factors that explained 26.5% of the total variance, although our data did not completely match the original factor structure. We also obtained moderate alpha values for the subscales, but high reliability for the total scale. Lastly, group differences between males and females are presented to provide evidence of validity. We discuss the implications of the results and present future lines of inquiry.
我们展示了将IHS-Del-Prette（英文为Social Skills Inventory，即社会技能量表）应用于阿根廷大学生样本的适应性研究结果。首先，我们进行了回译，并对该量表的葡萄牙语和西班牙语版本进行了等效性研究。结果表明，两个版本是等效的，因为我们仅在5个项目中获得了低于0.50的相关性。其次，我们通过计算区分指数和项目与总分的相关性进行了项目分析。结果表明，这些项目能够有效区分高社交技能组和低社交技能组。对602名大学生样本进行的探索性因素分析得出了五个因素，这些因素解释了总方差的26.5%，尽管我们的数据与原始因素结构并不完全匹配。我们还获得了各子量表的中等阿尔法值，但总量表的信度较高。最后，展示了男性和女性之间的群体差异以提供效度证据。我们讨论了研究结果的意义，并提出了未来的研究方向。
