A correct emotional processing promotes a healthy and adaptive development whilst difficulties in processing have been linked to psychopathological problems like anxiety and depression. The EPS-25 is a five factor questionnaire that assesses these difficulties. The objective of the present study was to validate the factor structure of the EPS-25 in Spanish, as well as to assess its validity and reliability. The sample, 605 participants (M = 18.30; SD = 1.75), was recruited from Spanish schools and universities. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to confirm the questionnaire s original structure in its Spanish validation. The adapted version of the EPS-25 shows adequate internal consistency (α = .91). Therefore, the Spanish version of the EPS-25 is a valid and reliable five factor instrument to measure emotional processing.}, year = {2018}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {24}, number = {1}, pages = {24-30}, month = {jan}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1134-7937}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1134793717300623}, doi = {10.1016/J.ANYES.2017.10.006}, }
