Resumen

La escala The Survey of Autobiographical Memory (SAM) es una medida de autoinforme fácil de administrar sobre las capacidades de la Memoria Autobiográfica (MA). Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo obtener evidencias de validez psicométrica del SAM en población española, específicamente de estructura interna y fiabilidad y de relación con otras variables (evidencias de validez convergente). Además, se pretendió analizar el grado de equivalencia factorial de la escala en una muestra de adultos españoles y argentinos. Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal contando con una muestra final de 3306 participantes de entre 18 y 65 años: 3044 personas argentinas y 262 personas españolas. En líneas generales, los resultados permiten concluir que la SAM tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para su utilización con población española y que tiene un grado de equivalencia transcultural entre población argentina y española, ya que se presenta adecuada a nivel de invarianza métrica parcial.
