Abstract

This study is of psychometric and instrumental design, aimed at examining the psychometric evidence of the CEVEIP school violence questionnaire in children aged 9 to 13 in Lima and Callao. It consists of 27 items and 3 dimensions: witnessed, perpetrated, and experienced situations. The instrument was administered virtually via a form, with 458 children participating in the final sample. Additionally, 10 expert judges were consulted, achieving a 100% agreement through Aiken's V. Explained variances of 68%, 63%, and 61% were obtained in the EFA through the indicators composing each dimension; in the CFA across the 3 dimensions, the obtained indices were CFI = .97, TLI = .96, GFI = .99, RMSEA = .04, and SRMR = .06, indicating acceptable values. Reliability assessed through ordinal alpha was higher and acceptable across the three dimensions, with values of .86, .82, and .79. Consequently, the CEVEIP questionnaire is valid and reliable for its application.
