description The Self-Statements during Public Speaking (SSPS; Hofmann & DiBartolo, 2000) scale is an instrument that assesses cognitions in a public speaking situation, which commonly generates some degree of anxiety. The SSPS scale showed good psychometric properties in its original study with American samples in the same way as in its validation studies with Spanish samples. Despite its relevance, it was not adapted in the Mexican population. So the aims of this study were: to translate the SSPS scale into Mexican Spanish, to validate its structure of two correlated factors, to calculate its internal consistency, to describe its distribution, to contrast gender differences, and to observe the relationship of the SSPS scale with social desirability, a construct potentially linked to social anxiety. The SSPS scale and the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR; Paulhus, 1998) were administered to a probability sample of university students stratified by gender. The structure of two correlated factors of positive and negative self-statements showed an adequate fit to data and invariance between both sexes by Generalized Least Squares. The Internal consistency was high; distribution was positively skewed. The correlation with social desirability was significant, especially with the self-deception factor. Men averaged higher, but the means of both genders were statistically equivalent when social desirability was controlled. We suggest using the SSPS scale in Mexico, controlling the social desirability bias.

La escala de Autoverbalizaciones al Hablar en Público (SSPS; Hofmann & DiBartolo, 2000), es un instrumento para evaluar cogniciones en la situación de hablar en público, la cual comúnmente genera algún grado de ansiedad. La escala presentó buenas propiedades psicométricas en su estudio original con muestras estadounidenses al igual que en estudios de validación con muestras españolas. A pesar de su importancia, no estaba adaptada en población mexicana, así los objetivos de este estudio fueron: traducir la escala SSPS al español de uso en México, validar su estructura de dos factores correlacionados, calcular su consistencia interna, describir su distribución, contrastar diferencias entre sexos y observar la relación de la SSPS con deseabilidad social, que es un constructo potencialmente vinculado a la ansiedad social. La escala SSPS y el Inventario Balanceado de Deseabilidad Social al Responder (BIDR; Paulhus, 1998), fueron aplicados a una muestra probabilística estratificada por sexos de estudiantes universitarios. La estructura de dos factores correlacionados de autoverbalizaciones negativas y positivas mostró un ajuste adecuado a los datos e invarianza entre ambos sexos por mínimos cuadrados generalizados. La consistencia interna fue alta. La distribución fue asimétrica positiva. La correlación con deseabilidad social fue significativa sobre todo con el factor de autoengaño. Los varones obtuvieron medias más elevadas, pero hubo equivalencia estadística entre las medias de ambos sexos al controlar la deseabilidad social. Se sugiere el uso de la escala SSPS en México, controlando el sesgo de la deseabilidad social.
