This study tested the reliability of the questionnaire scores and its criterion and structural validity. The data were drawn from survey interviews of 2042 Spanish people. The results show high internal consistency (values of Cronbach’s alpha ranged from .763 to .952). The correlational analysis showed significant positive associations between QFSSS scores and measures of subjective well-being and perceived social support, as well as significant negative associations with measures of lone-liness (values of Pearson’s r correlation ranged from .11 to .97). Confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modelling verified an internal 4-factor structure that corresponds to the sources of support analysed: partner, family, friends, and community (values ranged from .93 to .95 for the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI); from .95 to .98 for the Comparative Fit Index (CFI); and from .10 to .07 for the Root Mean Square Error of Ap-proximation (RMSEA)). These results confirm the validity of the QFSSS as a versatile tool which is suitable for the multidimensional assessment of social support.El Cuestionario de Frecuencia y Satisfacción con el Apoyo Social (CFSAS) ha sido diseñado para evaluar la frecuencia y el grado de satisfacción con el apoyo social percibido procedente de diferentes fuentes en relación a tres tipo de apoyo: emocional, informacional e instrumental. En este estudio se comprueba la fiabilidad del cuestionario, así como su validez estructural y de criterio. Los datos fueron obtenidos de una muestra compuesta por 2042 españoles. Los resultados muestran una alta consistencia interna (rango de valores del Alpha de Cronbach entre .763 y .952). El análisis correlacional mostró relaciones positivas significativas entre el CFSAS y medidas de bienestar subjetivo y apoyo social percibido, así como relaciones negativas significativas con medidas de soledad (rango de valores de la r de Pearson entre .11 y .97). El análisis factorial confirmatorio, usando ecuaciones estructurales, sugiere una estructura interna compuesta por cuatro factores, que se corresponden con las fuentes de apoyo analizadas: pareja, familia, amigos y comunidad (rango de valores GFI entre .93 y .95, CFI entre .95 y .98, RMSEA entre .10 y .07). Estos resultados confirman la validez del CFSAS como una herramienta versátil adecuada para la valoración multidimensional del apoyo social.Servicio de Publicaciones.
