The Self-Absorption Scale (SAS) is one of the few instruments that measure dysfunctional self-focused attention or self-absorption, a transdiagnostic factor of vulnerability to various emotional disorders. The internal structure of the Spanish version of the SAS and its relationship with other variables have not been examined, nor has whether its subscales provide relevant information. These were the two goals of the present study.
The factor structure of the SAS, its internal consistency, and its relationship with depression and post-traumatic stress were analyzed in a Spanish community sample of 519 adults.
The SAS presented a symmetrical bifactor structure with a general factor of self-absorption that explained most of the variance in the items and two specific factors of private and public self-absorption. The total scale and the two subscales of the SAS exhibited excellent, good or adequate reliability coefficients (alphas/omegas = .70 – .88) and correlated with depression and post-traumatic stress ( r = .34 – .46).
The SAS provides reliable, valid measures of dysfunctional self-focused attention in Spanish adults, but its Private and Public Self-absorption subscales are not much more useful than the information provided by its total scale.
自我关注量表（SAS）是少数几个能够测量功能失调性自我关注或自我关注的工具之一，自我关注是易患各种情绪障碍的一个跨诊断因素。SAS 的西班牙语版本的内部结构及其与其他变量的关系尚未得到检验，其分量表是否提供相关信息也尚未得到检验。这是本研究的两个目标。
对西班牙社区的 519 名成年人进行了自我关注量表的因子结构、内部一致性及其与抑郁和创伤后应激的关系分析。
SAS 呈现出对称的双因素结构，具有自我关注的一般因素，该因素解释了项目的大部分方差，以及两个特定的私人和公共自我关注因素。SAS 的总量表和两个分量表表现出极好、良好或适度的可靠性系数（alpha/omega =.70 –.88），并与抑郁和创伤后应激相关（r =.34 –.46）。
SAS 为西班牙成年人提供了可靠、有效的功能失调性自我关注测量，但它的私人和公共自我关注分量表并没有比其总量表提供的信息更有用。
