Resumen

The Survey of Autobiographical Memory (SAM) scale is an easy-to-administer self-report measure of Autobiographical Memory (AM) abilities. The aim of this study was to obtain evidence of psychometric validity of the SAM in the Spanish population, specifically evidence of internal structure and reliability (factor) and evidence of relationship with other variables (evidence of convergent validity). In addition, another objective was to analyze the degree of factor equivalence of the scale in a sample of Spanish and Argentine adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a final sample of 3306 participants between 18 and 65 years of age: 3044 Argentines and 262 Spaniards. In general terms, the results allow us to conclude that the SAM has adequate psychometric properties for its use with the Spanish population and that it has a degree of cross-cultural equivalence between the Argentine and Spanish population, since it is adequate at the level of partial metric invariance.
