Las aplicaciones de citas se utilizan como un medio para facilitar la interacción entre personas que quieren conocerse y establecer encuentros amorosos y sexuales. En este estudio pretendemos desarrollar y validar una nueva escala para medir las Actitudes hacia Tinder (EAFT). Para ello se realizaron dos estudios. En el Estudio 1 (N=260), verificamos la estructura factorial de la Escala y la distribución de ítems utilizando la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI). Los resultados revelaron una escala breve y precisa (Cronbach de 0,95), demostrando que los ítems saturan un solo factor, contribuyendo significativamente a la formación del rasgo latente. En el Estudio 2 (N=265), buscamos confirmar la estructura unidimensional de la medida utilizando el análisis factorial confirmatorio. Los resultados mostraron buenos índices de ajuste al modelo (χ²/gl = 1,46); CFI = 1,000; TLI = 1,002; RMSEA = 0,000 (0,00 - 0,11); confirmando la estructura unifactorial encontrada en el Estudio 1. En resumen, los resultados de los dos estudios indican que la EAFT presenta buenos parámetros psicométricos, lo que la hace adecuada y confiable para medir las actitudes hacia Tinder.
