    El auto-ocultamiento se asocia a indicadores negativos de salud y a menores niveles de búsqueda de ayuda psicológica, sin embargo, en Chile no existen instrumentos que lo midan de manera confiable. En la presente investigación se validó la versión adaptada de la Escala de Auto-Ocultamiento de Larson & Chastain en universitarios. Se tradujo y adaptó la escala a través de un enfoque por comité. Posteriormente, jueces expertos evaluaron su validez de contenido. Luego, se exploraron sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de 350 universitarios de La Araucanía, Chile. Se confirmó su estructura unifactorial, compuesta de ocho ítems, que evidencia invarianza escalar parcial entre hombres y mujeres, una buena consistencia interna (ω=.85), y que converge significativamente y en la dirección esperada con síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés psicológico, e intención de buscar ayuda psicológica. Este instrumento representa un aporte en la detección de grupos de riesgo que con menor probabilidad buscarán ayuda para problemas de salud mental.

    Self-concealment is associated with negative health indicators and lower levels of seeking psychological help, however, in Chile there are no scales that measure this construct reliably. In the present study the adapted version of Self-Concealment Scale was validated in university students. The scale was translated and adapted through a committee approach. Subsequently, expert judges evaluated its content validity. Then, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated in a sample of 350 university students from La Araucanía region, Chile. A unidimensional structure was confirmed, consisting of eight items, which shows partial scalar invariance between men and women, good internal consistency (ω=.85), and that converged in the expected direction and significantly with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, and intention to seek psychological help. This instrument represents a contribution in the detection of risk groups that are less likely to seek help for mental health problems.
