Sumario:In this article, we will present the validation of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). The cultural adaptation was carried out on the long version of the COPSOQII -ISTAS21. The validation was carried out on a random sample of 200 cases, representative of the conglomerate of the City of Buenos Aires, Avellaneda, Morón, and Vicente López. Internal consistency analysis was performed with Cronbach's Alpha and construct validation through factor analysis. The results were satisfactory in terms of internal consistency, although with some low values for certain dimensions (α values between 0.582 and 0.895); the factorial structure was as expected according to the original questionnaire. The criterion validity evaluated in the correlations with the health measurements from the SF36 questionnaire were satisfactory. The behavior of the instrument in the population of workers in Argentina has been similar to the international versions.
