Resumen

Antecedentes: A pesar del creciente reconocimiento de la mentalización como factor en el desarrollo de la salud mental y la prevención, las medidas de cribado validadas psicométricamente siguen siendo escasas. El Cuestionario de Mentalización (MZQ; Hausberg et al., 2012) es uno de los más utilizados. El objetivo es adaptar y validar su uso al español. Método: Adaptamos el MZQ al español  europeo en muestras comunitarias de adolescentes (= 389, edades 12-19, = 14,5) y de adultos (= 382, = 48). Resultados: Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio que expuso una estructura unifactorial para ambas muestras. Este modelo presentó mejores índices de ajuste que los modelos presentados en la versión original y en las adaptaciones. El estudio de invariancia mostró la misma estructura en la muestra de adolescentes cuando se compararon por sexo y edad, y también en la muestra de adultos comparada con la muestra de adolescentes. Se encontraron evidencias de validez convergente y discriminante. Conclusiones: La adaptación del MZQ al español presenta evidencias de validez y fiabilidad similares en la muestra de adolescentes y en la de adultos. Los resultados apoyan que se trata de una versión apta para evaluar la mentalización en población general.
