ABSTRACT

The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) is the most used instrument to evaluate acceptance or psychological flexibility, which has shown adequate psychometric properties in the 7-item version in the general adult population. However, its psychometric properties have not been studied in the prison population. Therefore, the objective was to study the internal structure based on an Exploratory Factor Analysis, the goodness of the items that compose it, and its internal consistency. In addition, descriptive data on the levels of experiential avoidance in the general population of Michoacán (Mexico) are presented. The AAQ-II was administered to 241 people in confinement. The unifactorial structure described in other studies was corroborated, it was observed that all items showed adequate characteristics, and the internal consistency of the total scale (α = .880) was excellent. It can be concluded that the AAQ-II is suitable for use in the general population of Michoacán (Mexico).
