The ability to solve interpersonal problems is one of the topics that has received more attention in the last few years among clinical psychologists. An increasing amount of research papers shows the relationship between this ability and different psychological problems. The validity assessment of the SPSI-R (Social problem-solving inventory-revised) by D´Zurilla, Nezu and Maydeu-Olivares (1997) may prove useful in this context since this tool was designed to assess such abilities. This inventory, designed according to the model developed by these authors for solving social problems, has proved its validity in other populations. The aim of the present study has been the translation of the inventory into Spanish and its assessment as regards construct validity and concurrent validity. The sample consisted of 184 students of the University of Granada and the aforementioned SPSI-R was used as well as the CPI (California Psychological Inventory) of H. G. Gough (1986).
