Introduction: The COVID-19 had a significant impact on university sports around the world. Describe the positive and negative affect of a sample of Chilean university athletes, reviewing the psychometric properties of the Affect Scale in the pandemic period and ad hoc socio-demographic variables.
Objective: Review the psychometric features of the Chilean version of the PANAS during the COVID-19 close-out
Methodology: The PANAS scale was used present mood of the participants using a 1 to 5-point scale. The two-factor confirmatory analysis of the original scale obtained a poor goodness-of-fit index. At the item level, the ALERT item of the PA factor showed a low loading and a higher weight on the AN factor.
Results: An exploratory principal components analysis obtained a four-factor model, with new items corresponding to PA and four items to a factor called AFRAID, four items to another factor called UPSET, and another two-item factor called GUILTY. The fit of the model using the ratio between chi-square and degrees of freedom was acceptable.
Discussion: The results of the research should be contrasted with those of other research found in the literature.
Conclusions: The new four-factor model achieves higher goodness of fit than the original model. The higher reliability for AP to the detriment of the reliability of AN. Although the goodness of fit index obtained was not optimal, the new factor organization allows a more differentiated analysis of PANAS according to gender in the sample studied.
