Abstract

The objective of the present study was to examine the content validity and the reliability of the Spanish translation of the “Self-Perception Profile for Adults†scale. The translation of the instrument was carried out with the back-translation process, with experts in both languages (Spanish-English). The content validity index was adequate (CVR = 0.99). In relation to reliability, the final version was applied to a sample of 180 adults (average age = 19.6 ± 3.1 years); an adequate temporal consistency was found for the different domains (R = 0.557 - 0.855) and internal stability (α = 0.878). It is concluded that the translation provided a valid and reliable instrument, which can be used as an assessment tool of self-perception in areas such as education, health, sports and psychology, among others, in adult populations.
