Resumen

La evaluación de conductas éticas se ha realizado habitualmente a través de escalas y cuestionarios, utilizando en ocasiones escenarios o situaciones concretas que cuentan con una serie de limitaciones. El objetivo del presente estudio es validar una escala para evaluar la predisposición de actuación ética por parte de estudiantes de distintos niveles educativos. Partiendo de la escala de Akaah y Lund (1994) se crearon 36 escenarios que reflejaban dilemas éticos en el entorno educativo. El instrumento resultante se aplicó a 662 estudiantes de enseñanzas medias y superiores. El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio permitió obtener 4 factores con 18 elementos y una fiabilidad de .90, mientras que el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio replicó la estructura de factores. Se discuten las implicaciones y los retos a los que hacer frente en la investigación y en intervenciones futuras.
