description This  article  reports  on  the  reliability,  internal  validity,  external  validity,  gender  differences,  and  norms  of  a Spanish  version  of  the  Achievement  Emotions  Questionnaire  (Pekrun  et  al.,  2011)  adapted  for  Argentinean  university students (namely  AEQ-AR).  The  AEQ-AR  contains  24  scales  measuring  enjoyment,  hope,  pride, relief,  anger,  anxiety, shame,  hopelessness,  and  boredom  during  class,  while  studying,  and  when  taking  tests  and  exams.   Argentinean undergraduates studying at the National University of Córdoba participated in the study.  An estimation sample (N = 400) and a validation sample (N = 266) were formed to examine internal validity and reliability. The total sample (N = 666) was used to analyze external validity, gender differences and to obtain norms for the scales.  Results indicate that the scales are reliable,  internally valid as demonstrated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and externally valid in terms of relationships with  task value, social academic self-efficacy, achievement goals, avoidance of help seeking, and  academic performance. In addition,  partial support for the gender differences hypothesis of prospective and retrospective emotions related to  negative  results  was  found.  The  obtained  norms  for  male and  female  students  will  allow  interpret  the  scores obtained for practical purposes. Finally, instructions and scales of the AEQ-AR are presented in the appendix.

Este artículo informa la confiabilidad, validez interna, validez externa, diferencias de género y normas de una versión española del Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (Pekrun et al., 2011) adaptada para estudiantes universitarios de Argentina (AEQ-AR). El AEQ-AR consta de 24 escalas que miden disfrute, esperanza, orgullo, alivio, enojo, ansiedad, vergüenza,  desesperanza y aburrimiento en clase, al estudiar y realizar exámenes. Participaron del estudio estudiantes argentinos que estudiaban en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Se conformaron una muestra de estimación (N = 400) y una muestra de confirmación (N = 266)  para examinar la validez interna y la confiabilidad. La muestra total (N = 666) se utilizó para  analizar la validez externa, las diferencias de género y obtener las normas para las escalas.  Los resultados indican que las escalas son confiables, validas internamente como lo demostraron los análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, y validas externamente en términos de relaciones con valor de la tarea, autoeficacia social académica, metas de logro  y rendimiento académico. Además, se encontró apoyo parcial para la hipótesis de diferencias de género de las emociones prospectivas y retrospectivas relacionadas a resultados negativos. Las normas obtenidas para estudiantes hombres y mujeres permitirán interpretar las puntuaciones obtenidas para propósitos prácticos. Finalmente, se presentan en el apéndice las instrucciones y escalas del AEQ-AR.
