The purpose of this study was to validate the cultural adaptation of the Thought Action Fusion Scale (TAFS), which is likely the most common measure of thought action fusion, with a sample of Mexican undergraduate students. 430 undergraduate students, between 18-28 years, from a Mexican university participated in this study (M = 20.59, DE = 1.92). Based on a factor analysis, support was found for the original three-factor structure with factors measuring TAF-likelihood-for-self (TAF-LS), TAF-likelihood-for-others (TAF-LO) and TAF-Moral (TAF-M), which was consistent with previous studies conducted with non-clinical samples. Further, support was found for the criterion validity of the current version of the TAFS-M. Overall, the findings of the present study indicate that the Mexican version of TAFS exhibits good psychometric properties.
