Abstract
Abstract: Harassment in the context of higher education is a problem that is increasingly visualized, especially about the work of states and higher education institutions themselves. For this reason, the construction, and initial indicators of validation of the Scale of Harassment in Higher Education (EAES) are presented to determine the prevalence of harassment in university life. The Likert scale with 37 items, whose content validity was conducted through 5 experts, through Aiken's V, leaving only the items with indices higher than 0.60, finally resulting in 26 items. Then, the instrument was applied to a sample of 137 higher education students, 86.86% women and 12.41% men with an average age of 29.85 years. In this application, the reliability of the instrument was good at 0.918, the instrument shows convergent validity with the GHQ-12 (p < .001). Finally, the psychometric properties were analyzed through an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) where it was confirmed that the scale had 4 factors, with a KMO of 0.839 and a chi-square of 2340.221, after analyzing the factorial loads of the items it was determined that the scale should remain with 26 items. From the above, it can be concluded that the EAES is a good instrument to determine the prevalence of harassment in higher education students.
