Abstract
While recent research has explored the psychometric properties of the Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised (SPSI-R; D’Zurilla, Nezu, Maydeu-Olivares, 2002) in Spain, this research has not extended to North American Hispanics. The purpose of this study is threefold: First, we examine the reliability of the SPSI-R subscales in a sample of US Hispanics. Second, we investigate whether SPSI-R gender differences generalized to this population. Finally, we examine the relationships between social problem solving and decision making styles. Our findings demonstrate that SPSI-R gender differences emerged in this sample of participants. In addition, the SPSI-R demonstrates good reliability and is related to decision making styles.
