Abstract

In this paper we describe the validation of a short version of the Koophezi-i scale to measure the Cooperative Person (CP) profile of 16-22 year-old students. The sample comprised 2.290 students (48.6% female, 51.4% male) from 14 university faculties and high schools in the Basque Country. In our first study, we use the original 10 factors and 37 items measured in the Koophezi -i CP profile. Four different confirmatory models were tested. In the second study, a content validity analysis was performed. As a result, a validated Koophezi-i-S scale was generated, which comprised 7 factors and 21 items. The limitations and implications of this new scale are discussed.
