La confianza es, por su importancia en las relaciones sociales, un fenomeno de gran interes tanto a nivel teorico como aplicado. En este articulo presentamos la adaptacion al castellano de uno de los instrumentos mas utilizados en el investigacion sobre confianza: la Escala de Confianza General de Yamagishi & Yamagishi (1994). Un total de 626 participantes respondieron al cuestionario. Los resultados indican que las propiedades psicometricas de la version en castellano son satisfactorias tanto a nivel de escala (�¿ =.862) como a nivel de items (a . 1.58). No se observo funcio-namiento diferencial de los items respecto al sexo, si respecto a la edad. En cuanto a la relacion entre la medida de Confianza y otras variables disposi-cionales y conductuales, se obtuvieron correlaciones significativas con Cor-dialidad (r = .376), y en mujeres tambien con Apertura a la Experiencia (r = .135).
The significance that trust has in social exchange relationships has led to a growing amount of literature dealing with this phenomenon at a theoretical and an applied level. With the aim of conducting trust research by means of an instrument with established reliability and validity, the General Trust Scale (Yamagishi & Yamagishi, 1994) was translated into Spanish. The sample comprised 626 participants. Results indicate that the Spanish adaptation has satisfactory psychometric properties: test's reliability (¿¿ = .862) and items' discrimination (a . 1.58). There was no differential item functioning regarding the participants¿f gender, but differences aroused as regards to their age. The relationship with several dispositional and be-havioral variables was assessed, being significant its correlation with Agree-ableness (r = .376) and, for the women, also with Openness to Experience (r = .135).
