TORO TOBAR, RONALD ALBERTO  and  VARGAS RUBIO, CLAUDIA VICTORIA. SOCIOTROPY-AUTONOMY SCALE (SAS): PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF ADAPTATION TO COLOMBIA. Psicogente [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.32, pp.323-336. ISSN 0124-0137.

This paper presents the results of a study whose aim was adapt and validate the Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale (SAS) Clark & Beck. This scale assesses two dimensions of cognitive personality: interpersonal orientation and attitudes of achievement and personal goals. The sample consisted of 460 participants between 15 and 71 years enrolled from different socioeconomic levels. The results showed internal consistency in SAS Scale: Total (.85), SAS Sociotropy (.82) and lower for SAS Autonomy (.61). These results are relevant to research on this instrument. It is considered a reliable and valid instrument for socio-cultural context; could also support research in cognitive psychotherapy and clinical processes based on the diathesis stress model.

Keywords : Sociotropy; Autonomy; Personality; Maladaptive beliefs; Vulnerability.
