“…En este sentido, existe consenso en considerar que aquellos individuos con mayor facilidad para suprimir pensamientos indeseados manifi estan niveles más reducidos de obsesividad (Hardy y Brewin, 2005;Smari y Hermodsdottir, 2001). Son además congruentes con los obtenidos en las investigaciones sobre el estudio de las propiedades psicométricas del WBSI anteriormente comentadas (i.e., Höping y de Jong- Meyer, 2003;Luciano et al, 2006;Muris et al, 1996;Wegner y Zanakos, 1994).…”

“…Sin embargo, los resultados de este estudio suscitaban dudas sobre algunos ítems que no parecían evaluar supresión. Posteriormente otros autores utilizando también análisis factoriales exploratorios (i.e., Blumberg, 2000;Höping y de Jong-Meyer, 2003;y Rassin, 2003) y confi rmatorios (i.e., Blumberg, 2000;Luciano et al, 2006y González, Avero, Rovella y Cubas, 2008 obtuvieron estructuras bidimensionales o tridimensionales, compuestas por un factor de supresión y otro/s de intrusión y/o de distracción.…”

Resumen: El White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) fue concebido para evaluar tendencia a la supresión de pensamientos. En el presente estudio se aplicó, junto con otras medidas, a una muestra de 558 sujetos de la población no clínica portuguesa para el estudio de su estructura factorial y propiedades psicométricas. Se sometieron a análisis factorial confi rmatorio (AFC) cinco modelos con estructuras unidimensionales, bidimensionales y tridimensionales. Los resultados mostraron un factor con una adecuada consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal α = .88, CCI = .61 [IC95% = .31-.78]). La escala obtenida mostró asociaciones con medidas psicológicas y psicopatológicas presentando una adecuada validez convergente. Se presentan los datos normativos para la muestra analizada. Se concluye que la versión portuguesa del WBSI se presenta como un instrumento adecuado para su utilización en Portugal.Palabras clave: WBSI; supresión de pensamiento; análisis factorial exploratorio y confi rmatorio; fi abilidad; validez. The White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI): Psychometric properties of the Portuguese (Portugal) versionAbstract: The White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) was developed to measure the tendency to suppress unwanted negative thought. With the aim to study its internal structure and psychometrics properties, this inventory was applied with other measures to a sample of 558 participants from the general non-clinical Portuguese population. We performed confi rmatory factorial analyses (AFC) to test fi ve models of unidimensional, bi-dimensional and three-dimensional structures. The results yielded the existence of one single factor with adequate levels of internal consistency and temporal stability (α = .88, CCI = .61 [IC95% = .31-.78]).The WBSI was associated with psychological and psychopathological measures showing adequate levels of convergent validity. We present the normative data for the analyzed sample. In conclusion, the Portuguese version of the WBSI is an adequate instrument to be used in Portugal.

U radu su proveravane psihometrijske karakteristike srpskog prevoda Inventara supresije – Beli medved Wegnera i Zanakosa (Wegner & Zanakos, 1994) na uzorku od 279 ispitanika, prosečne starosti 20.12 godina. Konfirmativnom faktorskom analizom nije podržana jedinstvena dimenzija u osnovi svih 15 stavki inventara, a najadekvatnije pokazatelje podesnosti pokazala je kratka verzija sa šest ajtema koji se odnose na intruzije, supresiju i distrakciju. Nema značajne razlike u psihometrijskim karakteristikama između cele skale i šestoajtemske verzije. Unutrašnja konzistentnost obe skale je dobra. Obe verzije umereno koreliraju sa simptomima anksioznih poremećaja i depresije, kao i sa merama opšte vulnerabilnosti za različite poremećaje (Negativnim afektivitetom, Psihološkom nefleksibilnošću, dimenzijama ličnosti teorije osetljivosti na potkrepljenje) i sa merom teorijski srodnog konstrukta – Skalom ruminacija. Na osnovu obe verzije Inventara supresije – Beli medvedrazlikuju se osobe koje su tokom života imale generalizovani anksiozni poremećaj ili veliku depresivnu epizodu od onih koje nisu. Oba inventara poseduju i inkrementalnu validnost jer značajno doprinose objašnjenju simptoma depresije i generalizovanog anksioznog poremećaja kada se kontroliše doprinos Negativnog afektiviteta. Istraživanje ukazuje na dobre psihometrijske karakteristike proveravanog instrumenta, kako u celini tako i u skraćenom obliku.

Exploring predictors of aggressive intrusive thoughts and aggressive scripts: Similarities and differences in phenomenology

Aggressive Behavior

Experiencing a thought about harming or injuring another person is commonly reported by the general population. Aggressive intrusive thoughts (AITs) and aggressive scripts are two constructs commonly used to define the experience of thinking about harming another person. However, they are generally investigated separately and with two significantly different population groups; respectively, individuals with obsessive‐compulsive disorder and people with a history of violent behavior. AITs and aggressive scripts are assumed to have very different implications for violence risk assessment, but conceptual overlap and an absence of empirical research renders this assumption premature. Using a battery of self‐report measures, this study aimed to investigate the differential predictors of AITs and aggressive script rehearsal in a nonclinical sample. Additionally, using regression analyses, the predictors of self‐reported aggressive behavior were explored in a sample of 412 adults (73% females; Mage = 31.96 years, SD = 11.02). Violence‐supportive beliefs and frequency of anger rumination predicted the frequency of aggressive script rehearsal, and aggressive script rehearsal, anger rumination, and violence‐supportive beliefs predicted a history of aggressive behavior. In contrast, obsessive beliefs were predictive of AITs, and only AITs were related to ego‐dystonicity. Both AITs and aggressive script rehearsal were related to the use of thought control strategies. These findings support the contributions that maladaptive beliefs have in the experience of aggressive scripts and AITs. Beliefs about violence, a history of aggressive behavior, and ego‐dystonicity appear to differentiate aggressive scripts from AITs.
