A sample of 1,095 adolescents (14-18 years old) obtained in 17 schools from the centre of Portugal participat-ed in the study. Several self-report questionnaires were used. An initial exploratory factor analysis suggested a three-factor structure, responsible for 56.40% of the total variance. This structure was corroborated in the confirmatory factor analysis, and the model was invariant across genders. Acceptable to high internal consistencies for the factors and total, high temporal stability, and good convergent and discriminant validities were obtained. There were no significant differences in the distribution of the variables according to gender. 2016 artículo científico 2340-8340 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=477152554005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4771 Revista de Psicología Clínica con Niños y Adolescentes application/pdf Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche Revista de Psicología Clínica con Niños y Adolescentes (España) Num.2 Vol.3
