Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the reviewed version of the internal and external strengths for teenagers (FIE-AR). A non-probabilistic sample of 1486 students was selected from public schools in Mexico City, 47.3% were men and 52.7% were women, with an average age of 14.6 years (DE=1.7). it was used the second version of the FIE-AR, which is a scale that evaluates 7 external strengths (mother supervision, mother support, father supervision and support, house rules, friends without risk conducts, healthy friends and no drug access) and eight internal strengths (responsibility, health importance, religion importance, decision making, anger expression and educative expectations). The factorial confirmatory analysis identified a good adjust of the models (one for external strengths and another one for the internal strengths).
