Description
Summary:The article presents the results of the translation and adaptation of the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS; McAdams & de St. Aubin, 1992) for grandparents living in Santiago de Chile. This instrument was used to assess overall generativity in 385 Chilean grandparents, purposively sampled, according to sex, age, and income level. Using Horn's parallel analysis as well exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses, 2 factors were extracted from the final 13- item scale: Positive Generativity, which explained 72.39% of the variance, and Doubtful Generativity, which explained the remaining variance (27.61%). According to the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, internal consistency reached 0.85 for Positive Generativity (11 items), while that of Doubtful Generativity (2 items), according to the Spearman-Brown coefficient, reached 0.79. Grandmothers who lived with a grandchild obtained the highest generativity scores.
