Avoidance and Activation as Keys to Depression: Adaptation of the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale in a Spanish Sample
Overview
This paper describes the adaptation and validation of the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS) within a Spanish-speaking population. The study evaluated psychometric properties using a sample of 263 participants, confirming the scale's internal consistency and construct validity through correlations with other established measures. Factor analysis supported the original four-dimensional structure, though item loadings varied slightly from the English version. The resource is primarily intended for clinicians and researchers interested in the cross-cultural applicability of behavioral activation assessment tools.
