Workers who plan for retirement generally adjust better to this phase of life. Therefore, retirees, researchers, and practitioners benefit from the development of retirement preparation measures and interventions. The Process of Retirement Planning Scale (PRePS), originally developed in New Zealand, considers retirement planning as a multidimensional process that happens in 4 stages: representations, goals, decisions, and behaviors. This study aimed to validate the complete and short versions of the PRePS in Spanish. The translated complete version was administrated in a sample of 1,827 Spanish employees aged from 26 to 68 (M = 46.8; SD = 11.9), which was further randomly split into 3 subsamples. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that both the complete version and the short version of the scale had satisfactory psychometric properties. The complete Spanish PRePS contains 37 items, which reflects 4 dimensions: financial (10 items), lifestyle (9 items), psychosocial (8 items), and health planning (10 items) and 4 stages: representations (12 items), goals (4 items), decisions (8 items), and preparedness (13 items). The short Spanish PRePS contains 24 items. Age, gender, and general self-efficacy were significant predictors of the PRePS dimensions, offering validity evidence from the standpoint of construct nomological network. The advantages of using the PRePS for researchers, professionals, and Spanish policy makers are discussed. As this scale has already been adapted to 5 different languages—English, Turkish, Korean, Portuguese, and now Spanish—cross-national studies about retirement planning are encouraged.

退休计划量表的过程：完整和简短西班牙文版本的心理计量特性

计划退休的工人通常会更好地适应这一阶段的生活。因此，退休人员，研究人员和从业人员将从退休准备措施和干预措施的制定中受益。最初在新西兰制定的《退休计划规模过程》（PRePS）将退休计划视为一个多维过程，该过程分为四个阶段：表述，目标，决策和行为。本研究旨在验证西班牙语中PRePS的完整和简短版本。翻译后的完整版本在1,827名年龄在26至68岁之间的西班牙员工中进行了管理（M = 46.8；SD= 11.9），然后进一步随机分为3个子样本。探索性和验证性因素分析表明，完整版和简短版的量表均具有令人满意的心理计量学特性。完整的西班牙PRePS包含37个项目，反映了4个方面：财务（10个项目），生活方式（9个项目），社会心理（8个项目）和健康计划（10个项目）以及4个阶段：代表（12个项目），目标（ 4项），决策（8项）和准备（13项）。简短的西班牙语PRePS包含24个项目。年龄，性别和一般自我效能感是PRePS维度的重要预测指标，从构建法则网络的角度提供了有效性证据。讨论了对研究人员，专业人员和西班牙政策制定者使用PRePS的优势。
