Abstract
In the study of human motivations, self-interest is often seen as a determining factor and opposed to otherinterest.
Recently a new conceptualization has been proposed in which both interests can occur at the same time. In order to
measure these constructs, the Self-and Other-Interest Inventory (SOII; Gerbasi&Prentice, 2013) was created, which has one
version for adults and one for students. Due to the absence of similar measurement instruments in Spain, the aim of this
work is to adapt the SOII to Spanish university students. Several studies were conducted. First, the construct was analyzed
through rational-analytical procedures. Second, the items were translated following an iterative forward-translation
design. Finally, evidence of validity was obtained through analytical procedures. Specifically, two pilot studies were
carried out in which two independent samples of Spanish students participated (N1 = 119; N2 = 165). In both studies
descriptive analyzes of the items were performed, reliability was estimated and the factor structure of the SOII was
explored from an exploratory factor analysis . The results showed adequate reliability and a two-factor solution consistent
with the original.
