Introducción: La teoría de metas de logro en el deporte intenta explicar la motivación del individuo a partir de conocer qué valor y expectativas les otorga a las actividades deportivas que realiza y las metas que se propone, para definirlas o sentirse exitoso en las mismas, partiendo del supuesto de que el deporte es un contexto de logro y es por esto que los individuos se esforzaran para demostrar competencia y habilidad. El Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire es uno de los instrumentos de medición más utilizados para abordar esta teoría. Sin embargo, no existen estudios locales que permitan medir el constructo en deportistas argentinos adultos. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue realizar la adaptación lingüística, conceptual y métrica del TEOSQ en deportistas adultos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Método: El estudio fue instrument...

Background: Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent worldwide, followed by depressive disorders. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck et al., 1988) has been developed to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms and perform a differential diagnosis between anxiety and depression disorders. Objective: To examine the temporal stability of the BAI in its version adapted to Argentina and obtain evidence of discriminant validity. Method: In a sample of 52 people, the intraclass correlation coefficient was analyzed. Then, in a sample of 225 people, a correlation analysis between BAI scores and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck et al., 2006) was performed; subsequently, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with reagents from both instruments was conducted and the heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations (HTMT) was calculated. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient was ....

Background: Currently, anxiety disorders are the most prevalent worldwide, reaching a rate of 5% in Argentina in 2017. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is one of the instruments most used in research and clinic today. In its construction, one of the objectives was to evaluate anxiety symptoms that are not usually evident in depressive disorders, which is why it is a relevant test to make a differential diagnosis. The objective of this study was to adapt the BAI to the adult population of Buenos Aires. Methods: A direct translation of the inventory and then an expert judgment to assess the content validity were carried out. The discrimination capacity of the items was analyzed and the structural validity of the test was evaluated according to different models found in the literature. Also, the internal consistency of the instrument was analyzed. Results: The adapt...
