El estudio se propuso analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Participant Role Appoach (PRA) para medir roles de espectadores en el acoso escolar en niños mexicanos. Participaron Participaron 787 estudiantes, 415 (52.7 %) niños (M edad = 10.59, DE = .66 años) y 372 (47.3 %) niñas (M edad = 10.51, DE = .64 años). Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio sugieren que el modelo de tres roles (pro-acoso, pro-social y no comprometido) se ajusta mejor que el de cuatro roles (alentador, asistente, defensor y no comprometido). La PRA presenta invariancia de medición en ambos sexos, y evidencias de validez concurrente. Se concluyó que la escala posee propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para la medición de roles de espectadores.

The study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Participant Role Appoach (PRA) to measure bystander roles in bullying in Mexican children. 787 Mexican elementary school students participated, 415 (52.7 %) boys (M age = 10.59, SD = .66 years) y 372 (47.3 %) and (M age = 10.51, SD = .64 years). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis suggest that the three-role model (pro-harassment, pro-social and non-committed) fits better than the four-role model (encouraging, helper, defender and non-committed). The PRA presents measurement invariance in both sexes and evidence of concurrent validity. It was concluded the scale has adequate psychometric properties for the measurement of bystander roles.

O estudo propôs-se a analisar as propriedades psicométricas do Participant Role Approach (PRA) para medir os papéis de observadores no bullying em pré-adolescentes. Participaram 787 estudantes, 415 (52.7%) meninos (M idade=10.59, DP=.66 anos) e 372 (47.3%) meninas (M idade=10.51, DP=.64 anos). Os resultados da análise fatorial confirmatória sugeriram que o modelo de três papéis (pró-bullying, pró-social e não comprometido) ajusta-se melhor aos dados do que o modelo de quatro papéis (encorajador, assistente, defensor e não comprometido). A PRA mostrou invariância de medição em ambos os sexos e evidências de validez concorrente. Concluiu-se que a escala tem propriedades psicométricas adequadas para a medição de papéis de observadores em pré-adolescentes.
