Resumo

En este trabajo se presenta la adaptación y las evidencias de validez de la versión española de la Escala de Ansiedad por el Estatus. Esta medida evalúa la tendencia de las personas a preocuparse por su posición socioeconómica. En dos estudios correlacionales, de corte exploratorio (N = 270) y confirmatorio (N = 258), el instrumento mostró una buena fiabilidad, además de una estructura unifactorial y correlaciones positivas con privación relativa, tendencia a la comparación social, y percepción de desigualdad. Además, en un tercer estudio experimental (N = 140), se encontró que en la condición de bajo estatus socioeconómico los/as participantes experimentaron mayor ansiedad por el estatus. En suma, estos estudios sugieren que la versión española de la Escala de Ansiedad por el Estatus puede ser utilizada en población española.
