| Sumario: | Intimate couple violence, including physical, psychological, verbal, and sexual, is a public health concern. The Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS-2) measure conflict resolution tactics. This research adapted the scale to a sample of 423 Peruvian men. The age range of the sample was from 21 to 60 years. A committee of 10 experts evaluated the validity of the CTS-2, and the Aiken V validity coefficients were calculated. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, which showed an acceptable fit. Factors F2 (Psychological aggression), F3 (Physical Aggression), and F4 (Sexual Coercion) of the CTS-2 showed significant covariance, while factor F1 (Negotiation) did not show covariance with other factors. Structural equation analysis for convergent validity showed acceptable results between the Family Communication Scale and the CTS-2 factors. The reliability was adequate according to the Alpha Ordinal (0.88). The results generally indicate adequate reliability and validity of the CTS-2, with acceptable adjustment measures. This study contributes psychometric evidence for the use of CTS-2 in the Peruvian context. |
