Abstract

Background: Need for affect (NA) refers to individual differences in the motivation to approach or avoid emotion-inducing situations and activities. Prior research has demonstrated that NA is a relevant construct for understanding psychological processes related to affect. The present study aimed to adapt and validate the English version of the Need for Affect Questionnaire (NAQ), as well as the short version (i.e., the NAQ-S), to Spanish. We examined evidence of validity and reliability in the NAQ and NAQ-S scores.

Method: Study 1 ( N = 416) analyzed the psychometric properties of scores from the Spanish adaptation of the NAQ, as well as the relationships with measures of other relevant psychological constructs. Study 2 ( N = 118) tested the validity and reliability of scores from the Spanish adaptation of the NAQ-S.

Results: We found two main factors (i.e., Emotion Approach and Emotion Avoidance), and the internal consistency of both the NAQ and the NAQ-S scores, as well as their test-retest reliability, were adequate. Relationships with other measures were in line with prior research, providing positive evidence of concurrent validity.

Conclusions: Scores from both instruments showed validity and reliability, so should be considered in future research related to NA.

西班牙语对情感需要的适应问卷(NAQ和NAQ- s)

背景:情感需要(NA)是指个体在接近或避免情绪诱导情境和活动的动机上的差异。已有研究表明，NA是理解与情感相关的心理过程的相关构念。本研究旨在调整和验证英文版本的情感需求问卷(NAQ)，以及简短的版本(即NAQ- s)，西班牙语。我们检验了NAQ和NAQ- s分数的效度和信度证据。方法:研究1 (N = 416)分析了NAQ西班牙语适应性得分的心理测量特征，以及与其他相关心理构念测量的关系。研究2 (N = 118)检验了NAQ-S的西班牙语改编分数的效度和信度。结果:我们发现两个主要因素(即情绪接近和情绪回避)，NAQ和NAQ- s分数的内部一致性和重测信度都是足够的。与其他测量的关系与先前的研究一致，为并发效度提供了积极的证据。结论:两种工具的评分均显示了效度和信度，因此在未来的NA相关研究中应予以考虑。
