    La rumiación ira es pensamiento perseverativo sobre un evento personalmente significativo ocurrido a la persona o las demás que conlleva a la ira y se constituye como factor de riesgo para la agresión. El objetivo fue realizar un análisis factorial confirmatorio e invarianza por sexo y edades de la Anger Rumination Scale [ARS]. Se conformó una muestra no probabilística de 640 personas con entre 18 y 63 años (M = 31.07, SD = 11.27), agrupadas por sexos (252 hombres, 378 mujeres) y edades (278 menores de 25 años, 352 mayores de 25 años). Los instrumentos fueron el ARS y el cuestionario de agresión reactiva y proactiva RPQ. Se encontró que el ARS presenta un ajuste favorable en un modelo de cuatro factores correlacionados con covarianzas residuales. A su vez, resultó invariante entre sexos y edades luego de imponer restricciones progresivas en el modelo confirmado, y presentó correlaciones significativas con la agresión reactiva y proactiva como evidencias de la validez de criterio predictivo. Se concluyó que el ARS presenta indicadores adecuados de fiabilidad y validez para ser usado en el contexto colombiano.

    Anger rumination is perseverative thinking about a personally significant event that occurred to the person or others that leads to anger and constitutes a risk factor for aggression. The aim was to perform a confirmatory factor analysis and invariance by sex and age of the Anger Rumination Scale [ARS]. A non-probabilistic sample of 640 people between 18 and 63 years old (M = 31.07, SD = 11.27), grouped by sex (252 men, 378 women) and ages (278 under 25 years old, 352 over 25 years old) was formed. The instruments were the ARS and the RPQ reactive and proactive aggression questionnaire. It was found that the ARS presents a favorable fit in a four-factor model correlated with residual covariances. In turn, it was invariant between sexes and ages after imposing progressive restrictions on the confirmed model and presented significant correlations with reactive and proactive aggression as evidence of the validity of predictive criteria. It was concluded that the ARS presents adequate indicators of reliability and validity to be used in the Colombian context.
