To do this, a cluster sampling of 500 university students to whom the EVA-42 was applied digitally was carried out. Indicators of goodness of fit were estimated using CFA and correlations between the subscales of the EVA-42 and another instrument for measuring self-concept called AF5; Likewise, reliability coefficients were estimated by internal consistency and scales were established using centiles. The AFC results support a penta-factorial structure with CMIN / DF = 1.758, RMSEA = .039, TLI = .950, CFI = .958 and NFI = .908, as well as Spearman-Brown values and α> .8 for reliability of all subscales. It is concluded that the instrument is adequate for measuring self-concept with the Colombian university population.}, year = {2022}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {28}, number = {2}, pages = {91-99}, month = {03/2022}, issn = {1134-7937}, isbn = {2174-0437}, doi = {10.5093/anyes2022a10}, }
