Abstract

This study aims the adaptation of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for University Students (AAQ-US), which evaluates psychological inflexibility in the university context. The sample consisted of 123 undergraduate and postgraduate students from Brazilian universities, with age between 18 and 44 years. Evidence of validity based on the internal structure of the scale was provided by parallel analysis that indicated a single factor solution, as well as the original scale and by exploratory factor analysis. AAQ-US also presented good internal consistency with α=.87 and McDonald’s Omega =.70. Furthermore, AAQ-US showed convergent and discriminant validity, having correlations with procrastination, mental health variables and psychological flexibility and construct validity using known-groups method. The results of this study indicate the validity of AAQ-US for the university context.
