Resumen

Los objetivos del estudio fueron analizar las características psicométricas del Thougt-Shape Fusion Questionnaire (TSF-Q), su estructura factorial y consistencia interna, así como las relaciones del TSFQ con diferentes instrumentos para determinar su validez. Se estudiaron 146 pacientes con anorexia (n = 82), bulimia (n = 33) o trastorno de la conducta alimentaria no especificado (n = 31), y un grupo de 115 estudiantes sin antecedentes de interés psicopatológico. Todos completaron el TSF-Q, TAF-Q, EDI-2, STAI, BDI y SCL-90-R. Las diferencias en las puntuaciones del TSF-Q entre los subgrupos diagnósticos fueron también analizadas. Se obtuvieron dos factores, coincidentes con las dos secciones conceptual e interpretativa señaladas por los autores del cuestionario. La consistencia interna del TSF-Q y de sus subescalas se determinó mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, que osciló entre .93 y .96. Las correlaciones con otros instrumentos reflejaron una adecuada validez. No hubo diferencias significativas entre los subgrupos diagnósticos. El TSF-Q, en su versión española, cubre los requisitos psicométricos para medir la fusión pensamientoforma y presenta adecuada consistencia interna, así como una adecuada validez.
