Sumario:Objective: To examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Valuing Questionnaire (VQ) in Colombian clinical and nonclinical samples. Method: The VQ was administered to a total sample of 1820 participants, which included undergraduates (N = 762), general population (N = 724), and a clinical sample (N = 334). The questionnaire packages included measures of experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, mindfulness, life satisfaction, and psychological difficulties. Results: Across the different samples, internal consistency was good (global Cronbach’s alpha of .83 for Progress and .82 for Obstruction). Measurement invariance was found across samples and gender, and the two-factor model obtained a good fit to the data. The latent means of Progress and Obstruction of the clinical sample were lower and higher, respectively, than the latent means of the nonclinical samples. Correlations with other variables were in the expected direction. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the VQ showed good psychometric properties.
