knowledge, popular juries, citizen participation, evidence of validityAbstract
The study presents the procedures of construction and validation of a measure of knowledge about trial by jury. In a preliminary phase, the elements were constructed and submitted to an expert review. Later, the items were corrected through a pilot study, with a selected sample of 202 participants. Subsequently, through a confirmatory analysis, the fit of the one-dimensional exploratory solution was evaluated with a non-probabilistic sample of 426 participants. The results supported a one-dimensional model for the registration of individual differences, with acceptable psychometric properties of reliability and validity —content and structure — for the scale of knowledge on trial by popular jury for the city of Neuquén, Argentina. Although the legal context, its usefulness can be extended to other fields of study about citizen participation in the region.
