Abstract:
The Multidimensional Fairness Scale (MFS) assesses an individual's experience of fairness across the many contexts of daily life. It has been applied in the USA; however, the psychometric qualities of reliability and validity have not been examined in a Spanish-speaking population or among Chilean university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 377 university students to explore these properties. Students from public (46.2%) and private (53.8%) universities participated, with a mean age = 21.5 (SD = 3.3). CFA was performed, showing good goodness-of-fit indices (RMSEA = 0.08; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.96) for the model of three related factors (interpersonal, occupational, and societal) and good reliability indices. Although changes were made to the original structure, the tested model was consistent with the theoretical structure of the MFS, which allows its use on the Chilean university population.
