    Psychometric properties of the spanish version of the Valuing Questionnaire in Colombian clinical and nonclinical samples
    (Wiley, 2022) Ruiz Vegas, Francisco Javier; Segura Vargas, Miguel Ángel; Gil Luciano, Bárbara; Suárez Falcón, Juan Carlos
    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.

    Acceptance and commitment therapy in parents of children with cancer at psychosocial risk: A randomized multiple baseline evaluation
    (Elsevier, 2023) Bautista, Ana B.; Ruiz Vegas, Francisco Javier; Suárez Falcón, Juan Carlos
    Developing and testing psychological interventions for primary caregivers of children with cancer at significant psychosocial risk is still needed. One psychological factor contributing to their emotional distress is repetitive negative thinking (RNT). This study conducted a randomized, multiple-baseline evaluation of the effect of an individual, online, 2-session, RNT-focused ACT intervention in 12 parents. Participants responded to daily measures of emotional symptoms, RNT, and progress in values during baseline, intervention, and the 2-month follow-up. These measures have shown adequate psychometric properties at the individual level in this study. All 12 participants completed the intervention. A Bayesian hierarchical model indicated that most participants showed reductions in emotional symptoms and RNT (10 of 11), and 8 of 12 participants showed increases in valued living. The design-comparable standardized mean difference was computed to estimate the intervention effect overall. The effect sizes were large for all variables (PHQ-4: d = 0.83, 95% CI [0.27, 1.40]; RNTQ-3: d = 0.81, 95% CI [0.34, 1.28]; VQ-3: d = 1.07, 95% CI [0.22, 1.91]). Participants evaluated the intervention as useful at the 2-month follow-up. In conclusion, a brief and online RNT-focused intervention showed promising results in parents of children with cancer at significant psychosocial risk.

    Normative data for the Spanish version of the California Verbal Learning Test (TAVEC) from older adults
    (American Psychological Association, 2022) Peraita Adrados, Herminia; García Herranz, Sara; Díaz Mardomingo, María del Carmen; Suárez Falcón, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez Fernández, Raquel; Venero Núñez, César
    The aim of this study was to establish normative data for the Spanish version of the California Verbal Learning Test, the Test de Aprendizaje Verbal España-Complutense (TAVEC). Through different subtests, the TAVEC allows verbal learning and episodic memory to be evaluated, an assessment that was carried out on a sample of 382 cognitive healthy Spanish individuals aged 60–90 years old. Unlike the participant’s educational level, their age and sex significantly influenced performance in the TAVEC. We provide tables that allow the scaled scores obtained with this test to be adjusted for age and other tables with the relevant adjustments for sex. The normative data obtained in this study will help more precisely interpret the performance of older Spanish adults in the TAVEC, enhancing the utility of this neuropsychological test to evaluate verbal learning and episodic memory in clinical settings and in relation to healthy aging.
