          Abstract

          El STAI es uno de los instrumentos de evaluación psicológica más empleados, generándose diversas versiones breves del mismo. No se han hallado versiones breves en las que se haya comprobado el ajuste para muestras de adolescentes ni universitarios españoles. El objetivo de este artículo es comprobar cuál de las versiones cortas propuestas en la literatura tiene un mejor ajuste en adolescentes y universitarios. Para ello, se aplicó el STAI a 482 adolescentes escolarizados y 510 estudiantes universitarios, de diversas ciudades españolas. Mediante AFC se evaluó el ajuste de cinco versiones breves del STAI. En los universitarios hay dos modelos en los que se observa un buen ajuste. En los adolescentes no ajusta ningún modelo. Puede que el proceso de diferenciación emocional con la edad explique que en los adolescentes las versiones breves halladas (siempre con adultos) no serían válidas, sí pudiendo emplearse con universitarios.

          Translated abstract

          The STAI is an instrument very used, generating different short versions. We found no short versions in which it is tests the fit for teenagers and college samples Spanish. The aim of this paper is to test which of the short versions proposed in the literature have a better fit in adolescents and college students. To do this, we applied the STAI to 482 adolescent students and 510 university students from different Spanish cities. Through AFC we evaluated five short versions of the STAI. At the university there are two models in which there is a good fit. In adolescents not fit any model. Maybe the emotional differentiation process explains that the found short versions (always with adults) are not valid in teenagers, and can be used with university students.

            The development of a six-item short-form of the state scale of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

            Two studies are reported describing the development of a short-form of the state scale of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for use in circumstances where the full-form is inappropriate. Using item-remainder correlations, the most highly correlated anxiety-present and anxiety-absent items were combined, and correlated with scores obtained using the full-form of the STAI. Correlation coefficients greater than .90 were obtained using four and six items from the STAI. Acceptable reliability and validity were obtained using six items. The use of this six-item short-form produced scores similar to those obtained using the full-form. This was so for several groups of subjects manifesting a range of anxiety levels. This short-form of the STAI is therefore sensitive to fluctuations in state anxiety. When compared with the full-form of the STAI, the six-item version offers a briefer and just as acceptable scale for subjects while maintaining results that are comparable to those obtained using the full-form of the STAI.
