AbstractThis study examines how cognitive, behavioral and experiential avoidance differs between clinical patients (N = 100), the general population (N = 100), and undergraduate students (N = 54). For this purpose, a Spanish adaptation of the Cognitive-Behavioral Avoidance Scale (CBAS; Ottenbreit & Dobson, 2004) was made. Confirmatory factor analysis supports the four factors structure similar to the original one, yet question the value of three of the items (CFI = .929, RMSEA = .057, SRMR = .051, χ2(333) = 603.28, p < .001, χ2/df = 1.81). Effect sizes calculated using Cohen’s ƒ2 were between 0.30 and 2.57 in all cases, and only one item showed value < 0.35. The internal consistency for the total scale was .95, and adequate alpha values for the four subscales were found (α between .74 and .93). Statistical differences were found between the clinical and non-clinical groups, and also between the clinical and undergraduate groups (GLM, p < .001). The validity was verified using correlations with AAQ-II, MAAS, BDI-II and BAI. There is a correlation between cognitive-behavioral avoidance and experiential avoidance in both the clinical and control groups (rho = .382, rho = .361, p < .01). Patients with higher levels of cognitive-behavioral avoidance have higher levels of depression (rho = .36, p < .01). A score of 53 is suggested as the optimum cut-off point, because at this point, sensitivity and specificity are both 86%. The results suggest that cognitive-behavioral avoidance represents a significant factor in psychopathology. Recommendations for future studies are discussed.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Zusammenfassung. Vermeidungsprozesse sind bei der Beschreibung und Erklärung von Angststörungen zentral, spielen aber auch bei Depressionen eine wichtige Rolle. Die Cognitive-Behavioral Avoidance Scale erfasst depressives Vermeiden ( Ottenbreit & Dobson, 2004 ). Die deutsche Übersetzung wurde an einer Stichprobe von insgesamt 657 Probanden (187 ambulante Psychotherapiepatienten, 376 Normalpersonen und 94 Studenten) evaluiert. Die Faktorenstruktur der Originalversion konnte mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalyse bestätigt werden. Psychometrische Analysen ergaben mehrheitlich sehr zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse mit einer internen Konsistenz α = .92 und einer Retestreliabilität von r = .80 (Totalskala). Hinweise auf Konstruktvalidität konnten mittels AAQ und EMOREG gewonnen werden. Zusammenhänge zwischen Vermeidung und Depressivität unabhängig von Angst unterstützen die Spezifität depressiven Vermeidens.
