Confiabilidad y validez de un instrumento que mide percepciones de corrupción

This paper aims to study corruption from a multicultural approach in which the state is the principal axis of political institutions and the media about public safety, in connection with that its boundaries are analysed from an intercultural approach in which society is organized in order to observe and undertake joint actions in favour of public peace. A cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of 330 residents of a town in central Mexico is conducted. By using a structural model [χ2 = 14.02 (18 gl) p <0.001; GFI = 0.995; RMSEA = 0.000], it is determined that the attitude is the leading indicator of the socio-political legitimacy (β = 0.91). The null hypothesis of setting hypothetical relationships dependence on observed data is accepted and possible relationships between multicultural and intercultural policies in different scenarios are described.
