| Resumen en español | La metodología de los laboratorios cognitivos fue muy útil para traducir los reactivos a un lenguaje equivalente sin afectar la validez y confiabilidad de los instrumentos. Los hallazgos de este estudio deben considerarse con cautela ya que la muestra de la que provienen los datos no es representativa de la población otomí. Sin embargo, contribuyen a distinguir algunas particularidades sobre cómo se manifiesta la sintomatología depresiva en mujeres de origen ñahñú y a ampliar el conocimiento sobre las variaciones culturales del enfrentamiento |
| Resumen en inglés | The present paper is a part of a broader research project aimed at adapting a brief intervention model to help families cope with substance abuse for its application to an indigenous population. Due to cultural differences between urban and indigenous contexts, the adaptation of psychological instruments to assess the intervention outcomes is a major need. Poortinga and Van de Vijver point out that transferring an instrument from the cultural group where it has been designed to another group is a common and economic practice; however, it can lead to invalid conclusions. For this reason, the adaptation must be pursued according to a thorough systematic process in order to develop reliable, understandable, and culture-sensitive instruments. Cognitive laboratories are among the different methods to evaluate instruments previous to its final application. Its main utility is to generate information about the quality of an instrument and about the way a single question is interpreted, accepted or rejected in different cultural groups. The objective of this article is to adapt the Coping Questionnaire (CQ), the Symptom Rating Test (SRT) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) for its use in indigenous population through the cognitive laboratories method. The main interest is to develop instruments to assess psychological distress and how people cope with excessive drinking in the Mezquital Valley |
