Abstract

Theoretical framework: beliefs towards psychological services are important predictors of therapy attendance and mental health adjustment. Their objective evaluation is required and that is the reason why the BAPS -an instrument that has not been tested in Colombia- exists. Objective: to adapt and validate the BAPS scale for Colombian adult population. Methodology: the original scale was translated to Spanish and then back to English, and after conducting a pilot study, the instrument was applied to 440 Colombians (321 women and 118 men, with ages between 18 and 81 years, M = 37.46; SD = 16.99). Factor analysis, reliability, comparisons between those attending and not attending therapy, and rating norms were carried out. Results: adequate adjustment values were found, low levels of quadratic error, high reliability indexes and discriminant validity by consultation attendance. Conclusions: the BAPS scale is an objective instrument, with adequate evidence of validity, reliability and consistency to evaluate beliefs towards psychological services in Colombian adults. Scoring norms are included.
