Abstract

This study aims to validate the Cultural Capital in Family Interactions Scale through validity evidence, focusing on the internal structure of the instrument. As outlined by the Bourdiesian theory, cultural capital is considered a set of cultural and social assets acquired in the domestic environment, and its direct relationship with students' academic performance is highlighted. In this analysis, we used a sample of 11,795 5th-grade students who answered a questionnaire. Data collection was done electronically. The Parallel Analysis indicated two factors: Static Cultural Capital and Relational Cultural Capital, with Guttman's lambda 2 assuming values of 0.702 and 0.845, respectively. We calculated UniCO = 0.787, ECV = 0.669 and MIREAL = 0.318 indices. We used Exploratory Factor Analysis and Partial Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The adjustment indices CFI = 0.946 and TLI = 0.935, and the residue index RMSEA = 0.053, the analysis of internal consistency, determinants, and replicability of the factorial scores gave us evidence of validity for the use of the Cultural Capital Scale in Family Interactions.
