Executive functions are a set of mental abilities that allow human beings to consciously regulate their behavior and, in a university setting, will have a significant impact on student success during professional training.
To develop a scale to assess executive functions in a university setting.
Using a sample of 1,373 university students from Chile (663) and Ecuador (710) between 17 and 33 years old ( = 20.53, = 2.34). A study was carried out to analyze the psychometric properties of the instrument using a reliability and validity analysis for a scale that assesses executive functions: conscious monitoring of responsibilities, supervisory attentional system, conscious regulation of behavior, verification of behavior to learn, decision making, conscious regulation of emotions, and management of elements to solve tasks.
Adequate internal consistency parameters were found between = 0.71 and 0.85. The seven executive functions proposed on the scale correlated proportionally between = 0.42 and 0.62. In the confirmatory factor analysis, good fit indices were obtained in the model of the seven executive functions = 1649.14, = <0.001, = 0.91, = 0.04 and = 0.04.
The research carried out reaches its conclusion stating that the scale that was developed has the psychometric properties to assess executive functions in the Latin American setting. The results regarding previous research and the contribution made in the line of research of executive functions are discussed.
执行功能是一组心理能力，使人类能够有意识地调节自己的行为，在大学环境中，这将对学生在专业培训期间的成功产生重大影响。
开发一种用于评估大学环境中执行功能的量表。
以1373名年龄在17至33岁之间（平均年龄=20.53，标准差=2.34）的智利（663名）和厄瓜多尔（710名）大学生为样本。进行了一项研究，使用可靠性和有效性分析来分析该量表的心理测量特性，该量表用于评估执行功能：对责任的有意识监控、监督注意系统、对行为的有意识调节、为学习而对行为的核查、决策、对情绪的有意识调节以及解决任务的要素管理。
发现内部一致性参数在0.71至0.85之间。该量表上提出的七个执行功能之间的相关性比例在0.42至0.62之间。在验证性因素分析中，七个执行功能模型获得了良好的拟合指数（卡方=1649.14，p<0.001，比较拟合指数=0.91，近似误差均方根=0.04，标准化残差均方根=0.04）。
所开展的研究得出结论称，所开发的量表具有在拉丁美洲环境中评估执行功能的心理测量特性。讨论了与先前研究相关的结果以及在执行功能研究领域所做的贡献。
