Resumen

La preocupación, una forma de pensamiento negativo repetitivo, ha sido estudiada mediante el Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la dimensionalidad del PSWQ y de tres versiones breves en estudiantes universitarios de Lima, Perú. El PWSQ completo fue administrado a 290 participantes. A fin de lograr el objetivo, se examinó la estructura factorial y confiabilidad de diversos modelos: unidimensional, oblicuo, bifactor, así como las versiones breves. Los resultados sugieren que el PSWQ es una medida esencialmente unidimensional y que funciona mejor sin ítems inversos. Igualmente, las versiones breves tienen propiedades psicométricas similarmente adecuadas.
