abstract = {The study of the affective dimension of transversal competences is essential for the development of responsible behaviors and maintaining attitudes committed to sustainable development. The
importance attributed to each of these factors can predict behavior implementation and awareness of
values for sustainable development that reflect the acquisition and internalization of sustainabilityrelated generic competences. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the
affective dimension of the Generic Macro-Competence Assessment (AGMA) scale by applying Rasch
measurement model to a sample of Spanish university students, comprising 387 Spanish university
students (74.9% women; mean age = 21.24; WD = 3.54; range: 17–34). Results demonstrated a lack
of adjustment to the Rasch model due to item 1, and all items showed disordered response category thresholds. The remaining nine-item scale achieved all requirements of the model (χ2 = 61.46;
p = 0.052), including unidimensionality. Thus, the scale’s psychometric properties indicate an easyto-apply instrument for screening these factors for coping strategies in undergraduate and graduate
Spanish students. The results can help in justifying the design of interdisciplinary intervention
programs, in which affective factors are essential for sustainable development education.},
