The structural validity of the Mexican adaptation to Spanish of the Profile of Mood States Scale (POMS) was examined in samples of healthy and chronically ill adults. Through a non-probabilistic and intentional sampling, 530 adults participated (mean age 35.71, SD= 17); 210 were patients with chronic diseases (cancer and kidney disease) and the rest were healthy adults. An exploratory factor analysis revealed a model of 38 items and 6 factors with acceptable internal consistency indices. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed adequate goodness-of-fit indices. Subsequent multigroup CFA comparing the samples of healthy adults and patients reveal the non-equivalence of the structure in both samples, merging the negative mood factors for the sample of patients and a better distribution in the sample of healthy adults. Different alternative versions are proposed for healthy adult and patient samples. |
