El presente trabajo describe el proceso de adaptación al español del Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ). Se llevó a cabo una doble traducción y posterior análisis de contenido en la fase de adaptación lingüística y cultural. La consistencia interna y la dimensionalidad se estudiaron sobre el modelo del factor común. La muestra de normalización estuvo formada por 924 deportistas provenientes de 75 equipos. La escala mostró índices de consistencia interna adecuados y una estructura multidimensional acorde al modelo de cohesión basado en los factores Tarea/Social. Se comprobó la existencia de una relación moderada entre la cohesión de tarea y el rendimiento del equipo. Los resultados avalan la utilización de la versión española del GEQ.

A measure of team cohesion in sport. Spanish adaptation of Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ). The aim of this work was to adapt the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) to Spanish. Judgmental procedures were used to assess the linguistic and cultural equivalence of the versions. Psychometric procedures were used in the operational phase of the study. The normative sample comprised 924 sportsmen/sportswomen from 75 teams. The GEQ scale showed suitable indexes of internal consistency and a bidimensional structure based on two factors of the cohesion model, the Task component and the Social component. In addition, a positive relation between team-performance and the Task component of team cohesion was observed. Overall, the results supported the Spanish version of the GEQ.
