Abstract

La hipocresía se define como el fingimiento de cualidades o sentimientos contrarios a los que se experimentan. Los componentes, según la literatura, para evaluar la conducta se encuentran: la intención de engañar, la debilidad de voluntad, el grado de discrepancia entre la actitud y el comportamiento, si la actitud se declara públicamente y la naturaleza y la gravedad de las consecuencias del comportamiento. El propósito es desarrollar la Escala de Hipocresía Cruz-López (EHCL), como instrumento que mida cuán hipócrita puede ser una persona. La muestra se compuso de 207 adultos puertorriqueños. El instrumento demostró adecuada consistencia interna. Se encontraron relaciones inversas entre la totalidad de la escala y orientación sexual (Rho = -0.219, p = 0.002) y creencia religiosa (Rho = -0.228, p < 0.001). Por otro lado, se halló una correlación positiva entre la escala total y el ingreso de los participantes (Rho = 0.148, p = 0.034).Palabras claves: psicometría, hipocresía, escala, psicología social, disonanciaHypocrisy is defined as the feigning of qualities or feelings contrary to those experienced. The components, according to the literature, for assessing behavior are: intent to deceive, weakness of will, degree of discrepancy between attitude and behavior, whether the attitude is publicly declared, and the nature and severity of the consequences of behavior. The purpose is to develop the Cruz-López Hypocrisy Scale (EHCL) as an instrument to measure how hypocritical a person can be. The sample consisted of 207 Puerto Rican adults. The instrument demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Inverse relationships were found between the totality of the scale and sexual orientation (Rho = -0.219, p = 0.002) and religious belief (Rho = -0.228, p < 0.001). On the other hand, a positive correlation was found between the total scale and the income of the participants (Rho = 0.148, p = 0.034). Keywords: psychometrics, hypocrisy, scale, social psychology, dissonance
