Resumen

El estilo explicativo negativo, definido como la tendencia a explicar las situaciones negativas mediante causas internas, estables y globales, ha sido asociado con diferentes emociones negativas como depresión. La mayoría de los estudios han empleado el Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ; Peterson, et al.,1982) para evaluarlo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la validez de constructo y criterio de la versión española del ASQ para situaciones negativas. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio, realizado con los datos de 815 personas, mostraron que los ítems del cuestionario se ajustan a un modelo de tres factores, correspondientes a las tres dimensiones atribucionales, que están relacionados entre sí. Por otra parte, tanto las dimensiones atribucionales como el estilo explicativo negativo correlacionaron positivamente con depresión y afecto negativo y negativamente con afecto positivo. De acuerdo con estos resultados, se concluye que el cuestionario es válido y puede ser empleado con garantía.
