Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This article introduces a Spanish version of the Generalized Expectancies for Negative Mood Regulation Scale (NMR-S) and tests the reliability and the validity of the new questionnaire. METHODS: A sample of 360 students from Chile completed the NMR-S along with instruments measuring depressive symptoms, social desirability, coping, and emotion regulation. RESULTS: A factor analysis indicated that the NMR-S has a one-dimensional structure. The reliability of the new instrument was α = 0.89. The concurrent validity of the NMR-S was supported by correlations with measures of coping, emotion regulation, and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, the NMR-S predicted depressive symptoms when controlling for emotion regulation and coping. CONCLUSIONS: The findings are the first evidence to support the reliability and validity of the NMR-S.(AU)
 
OBJETIVO: En este artículo se presenta la versión en español de la Escala de Expectativas Generalizadas para la Regulación del Animo Negativo (NMR-S) y se evalúa la confiabilidad y la validez del nuevo cuestionario. MÉTODOS: Una muestra de 360 estudiantes de Chile completó la NMR-S junto con instrumentos dirigidos a medir síntomas depresivos, deseabilidad social, afrontamiento y regulación emocional. RESULTADOS: Un análisis factorial indicó que la NMR-S tiene una estructura unidimensional. La confiabilidad del nuevo instrumento fue de α = 0,89. La validez concurrente de la NMR-S fue avalada a través de su correlación con las mediciones de afrontamiento, regulación emocional y síntomas depresivos. Asimismo, la NMR-S predijo los síntomas depresivos cuando se controló por la regulación emocional y el afrontamiento. CONCLUSIONES: Los datos presentados son la primera evidencia para avalar la confiabilidad y la validez de la NMR-S.(AU)
