Resumen

La escala Cisneros es un cuestionario desarrollado por el profesor Iñaki Piñuel de carácter autoadministrado compuesto por 43 ítems que objetivan y valoran 43 conductas de acoso psicológico. Dicho cuestionario forma parte del Barómetro CISNEROS® (Cuestionario Individual sobre PSicoterror, Negación, Estigmatización y Rechazo en Organizaciones Sociales), integrado por una serie de escalas cuyo objetivo es sondear de manera periódica el estado, y las consecuencias, de la violencia en el entorno laboral de las organizaciones. En el presente trabajo se estudia la fiabilidad, validez y dimensionalidad de la escala Cisneros, empleando datos obtenidos en una muestra de 1.303 trabajadores pertenecientes a un gran número de sectores de actividad. Los resultados indican que la escala Cisneros tiene una elevada fiabilidad (.96), una estructura bidimensional que permite ordenar sus ítems a lo largo de dos dimensiones (Ámbito de la conducta de acoso y Tipo de conducta de acoso), y que presenta relaciones teóricamente esperables con escalas que miden Autoestima, Burnout, Depresión, Abandono profesional y Estrés postraumático. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una buena capacidad para discriminar entre diversos grados de acoso y, por consiguiente, la utilidad de la escala como indicador de la gravedad e intensidad del daño infligido a la víctima
