Este trabajo analiza la estructura dimensional de la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Estadística en su aplicación a estudiantes de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte. En virtud de los datos obtenidos con una muestra de 145 participantes de ambos sexos que fueron seleccionados por muestreo incidental en dos universidades públicas españolas, se concluye que no son plausibles las estructuras dimensionales propuestas por otros autores. Al mismo tiempo, se defiende una solución factorial basada en tres dimensiones y doce ítems, con capacidad para explicar el 68% de la varianza del instrumento y con una fiabilidad alfa de Cronbach igual a 0,87. Los estudiantes universitarios de ciencias del deporte declaran niveles medios de ansiedad hacia la estadística, consideran que la utilidad o importancia de esta asignatura es media-baja, y declaran baja predisposición hacia dicha materia.
This article analyses the dimensional structure of the Scale of Attitudes toward Statistics in its implementation for Physical Activity and Sport Science students. On the data obtained with a sample of 145 participants of both sexes who were selected by incidental sampling in two Spanish universities, it is concluded that dimensional structures proposed by other autores are not plausible. At the same time, this study presents a factorial solution based on three dimensions and twelve items, with capacity to explain 68% of the variance and with a Cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.87 from Sport Sciences declare average levels of anxiety, consider low usefulness or importance and declare low predisposition to statistics.
