Confirmatory factor analysis of the Extended Class Play on a sample of portuguese young adolescents

The Extended Class Play (ECP) assesses individuals' social reputation through peer reports. In this study, the recently presented six-factor structure was tested on a Portuguese sample of 465 adolescents (230 girls). A Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated good fit of the data to this six-factor structure, good composite reliability and validity. Results also showed good fit to both genders and age groups. Therefore, results are consistent with previous research and suggest that this six-factor structure has good psychometric characteristics and that the ECP seems to be a valid measure for investigation on adolescents' social functioning and reputation.
