The objective of the current study was to adapt and validate the pure procrastination scale (PPS) for the Spanish adult population. Procrastination can have numerous consequences in daily life, making it essential to have reliable and valid instruments for measuring procrastination. Thus, this study was conducted to address this need. The sample consisted of 596 adults aged 18-83 years (M = 35.25, SD = 13.75). In addition to the PPS, participants completed two procrastination measures, namely the irrational procrastination scale and the decisional procrastination questionnaire, alongside the Big Five inventory and the satisfaction with life scale. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure of the PPS. The examination of the reliability of scores in terms of internal consistency and temporal stability showed satisfactory results for the PPS scores. Moreover, gender invariance was observed at the scalar level. Finally, the PPS scores correlated with other measures of procrastination, personality traits, and satisfaction with life in the expected direction and magnitude. In conclusion, the Spanish PPS offers valid and reliable scores when administered to adult population.
本研究的目的是对西班牙成年人群体改编并验证纯拖延量表（PPS）。拖延在日常生活中可能会产生诸多后果，因此拥有可靠且有效的测量拖延的工具至关重要。故而开展本研究以满足这一需求。样本由596名年龄在18 - 83岁的成年人组成（均值 = 35.25，标准差 = 13.75）。除了PPS，参与者还完成了两项拖延测量工具，即非理性拖延量表和决策拖延问卷，同时还完成了大五人格量表和生活满意度量表。验证性因素分析结果显示PPS具有三因素结构。从内部一致性和时间稳定性方面对分数可靠性进行的检验表明，PPS分数的结果令人满意。此外，在标量水平上观察到了性别不变性。最后，PPS分数与其他拖延测量工具、人格特质以及生活满意度在预期的方向和程度上相关。总之，西班牙版PPS应用于成年人群体时能提供有效且可靠的分数。
