Personal and social responsibility is a multidimensional variable that is fundamental for the development of human beings in society. Hellison's model has demonstrated its importance by incorporating actions in schools that promote sustainable positive results applicable in diverse contexts. However, this model has not been widely developed in the Spanish-speaking world, especially in Latin America. In this sense, the present study aims to validate the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSRQ) in the Ecuadorian context. The study employs a quantitative methodology, using confirmatory analysis to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PSRQ and the Intrinsic Motivation scale (BREQ-2), with a sample of 614 students from four educational units in the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. The results indicate that the adapted two-dimensional model (13 items) presents a solid internal consistency, significant correlations between instruments, which allows verifying its criterion validity and an excellent fit of the PSRQ, thus confirming its validity and reliability for its use in Ecuadorian educational contexts. In conclusion, this validation contributes to the field of knowledge and offers a valuable resource for education in the region.
