The Anticipated Stigma and Concealment Questionnaire (ASCQ): Psychometric properties of a Spanish version in a Chilean sample of brain injury survivors

< .05, some fit indices indicated excellent model fit (CFI = .997 and TLI = .996), while others suggested a good fit (RMSEA = .077, 90% CI [.036, .113], and SRMR = .060). Significant associations were found between the ASCQ and measures of loneliness, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and self-esteem. The ASCQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing anticipated stigma and the motivation to conceal information after acquired brain injury. It can aid rehabilitation professionals in identifying individuals with interpersonal difficulties during community reintegration.
