This study analyzed a Mexican adaptation of the Dispositional Flow Scale-2 psychometric properties in the use of video games. Based on the information provided by a sample of 312 students, aged 16 to 34 years (M = 19.90, SD = 2.73), from a university in northeastern Mexico a confirmatory factor analysis that suggested an acceptable fit of the factorial structure, adequate convergent validity but poor discriminant validity was performed. Based on an exploratory factor analysis a re-specified model was identified, grouping 33 of the 36 items of the scale. This factorial structure, which showed an acceptable fit, adequate convergent validity and discriminant validity, suggests that scale dimensions can be grouped into antecedents and consequences of flow. El estado de flow es una característica psicológica importante en el contexto del diseño y evaluación de videojuegos educativos. En este estudio se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de una adaptación mexicana de la Escala de Flow Disposicional-2 en el contexto de los videojuegos. Con base en la información suministrada por una muestra de 312 estudiantes de una universidad del noreste de México, con edades de 16 a 34 años (M = 19.90, DE = 2.73), se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio que sugirió un ajuste aceptable de la estructura factorial, con adecuada validez convergente pero deficiente validez discriminante. Adicionalmente, con base en un análisis factorial exploratorio, se identificó un modelo reespecificado que agrupó 33 de los 36 ítems de la escala. Esta estructura factorial, que mostró un ajuste aceptable, y adecuada validez convergente y discriminante, sugiere que las dimensiones de la escala pueden agruparse en antecedentes y consecuencias del flow.
