Abstract: We tested the validity of a Spanish version of Strathman et al.’s (1994) Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFC-S). A sample of 158 Uruguayan university students completed the CFC-S scale and the Big Five Personality Inventory. We performed exploratory factor analyses that showed that the scale resembles the bi-factorial structure found in some of the samples with the English version, with a Future and an Immediate sub-scale. Results showed that the CFC Scale has acceptable psychometric properties though refi nements are needed: the item 5 presents some problems both in loadings and item-total correlations. Additionally, men scored higher than women on the CFC-I sub-scale and, conscientiousness is the most correlated personality trait with the scale.
