This study aims to analyze the convergent validity of an instrument for the three-dimensional measurement of mood states: the POMS-VIC. The instrument was applied to 62 students from the UAM Sports Service. The scores offered by the athletes when completing the POMS-VIC and other similar tests (PIED) Interactive Profile of Moods, (Barrios & González, 2012); (STAI) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Guillén-Riquelme & Buela-Casal, 2011) and (CSAI-2R) Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Andrade et al., 2007) were compared. The correlation coefficient was calculated by Spearman rank and non-parametric group contrast using the Mann Whitney U test. Appreciating mean correlations between PIED and POMS_Intensidad (rho=-.61), POMS_Valencia (rho=.34) and POMS_Control (rho=.43). As well as between POMS_Intensidad and the three subscales of CSAI (Cognitive, rho=-.31), (Somatic, rho=-.55) and (Selfconfidence, rho=.56). It is concluded that there is a considerable relationship between the POMS-VIC and the considered instruments. This result implies that the proposal scale is valid for the mood state measurement and allows its use in the sports field. Therefore, the instrument is considered to have an important practical impact for sport psychology.
