Psychometric properties of the Valuing Questionnaire in a Spaniard sample and factorial equivalence with a Colombian sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Valuing Questionnaire (VQ) is considered as one of the most psychometrically robust instruments to measure valued living according to the acceptance and commitment therapy model. It consists of 10 items that are responded to on a 7-point Likert-type scale and has two factors: Progression and Obstruction. The Spanish version of the VQ showed good psychometric properties in Colombian samples. However, there is no evidence of the psychometric properties of the VQ in Spaniard samples. This study aims to analyze the validity of the VQ in a large Spaniard sample and analyze the measurement invariance with a similar Colombian sample.

Method

The VQ was administered to a Spaniard sample of 846 adult participants from general online population. Cronbach's alpha and McDo
