The purpose of this study was to develop a translated version of the White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) that is reliable and valid in a Mexican sample. A back-to-back translation of the WBSI was made, and the WBSI- Mexican Version (WBSI-MV) was administered to a sample of 346 undergraduate students enrolled at university in northern Mexico. Support was found for a two-factor solution, with factors labeled intrusion and suppression, which is consistent with previous research. Furthermore, support was found for the validity of the WBSI-MV, as both subscales were considered to be significantly and positively associated with measures of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and thought-action fusion. Overall, the WBSI-MV proved to be a valid measure that can be used to assess suppressive and intrusive thoughts in the Mexican population. El Inventario de Supresión del Oso Blanco (WBSI) se encuentra entre los instrumentos de autoinforme más utilizados para evaluar la supresión del pensamiento, la tendencia general a suprimir los pensamientos negativos no deseados y la incapacidad de ignorarlos. El propósito del presente estudio fue desarrollar una versión traducida del WBSI que sea confiable y válida en una muestra mexicana. Se realizó una traducción y se administró a 346 estudiantes universitarios en el norte de México. Los resultados mostraron una solución de dos factores, etiquetados como intrusión y supresión, lo cual es consistente con investigaciones previas. Además, se apoyó la validez de la versión mexicana (WBSI-MV), ya que ambas subescalas estaban asociadas de manera significativa y positiva con medidas de síntomas de trastorno obsesivo compulsivo y fusión de pensamiento-acción. En general, se mostró que el WBSI-MV es un instrumento válido que puede utilizarse para evaluar los pensamientos supresivos e intrusivos en la poblaciónmexicana.
