Religiosity/spirituality and mental health
There is much evidence that the relationship between religiosity/spirituality (R/S) and mental health is linear and positive, but relatively few studies have included samples of non-religious participants in their analyses. Some findings suggest that, compared to people who have intermediate levels of R/S, those with higher levels and those with insignificant levels are mentally healthier. However, this curvilinear model does not appear to have b…
Belief in Spiritual Beings Scale (BSBS)
Although belief in spiritual beings can be considered the main characteristic of religiosity/spirituality, a scale focused on specifically assessing this construct while remaining pertinent to people of different religious/spiritual denominations-including atheists and agnostics-is not available. In two studies, we present the process of developing the Belief in Spiritual Beings Scale (BSBS) and identify its psychometric properties. Study 1 desig…
Protocolo para Avaliar o Estresse de Minoria em Lésbicas, Gays e Bissexuais
O modelo do Estresse de Minoria (EM) propõe a existência de estressores específicos que levam pessoas lésbicas, gays e bissexuais (LGB) à posição de maior vulnerabilidade social. O EM é composto por homonegatividade internalizada, a ocultação da sexualidade e as experiências de estigma. Embora o modelo tenha recebido suporte empírico, não há instrumentos adaptados para sua avaliação no contexto brasileiro. Portanto, este estudo objetiva a adaptaç…
Adaptation and preliminary validation evidences of the School Climate Questionnaire - Revised, Elementary and Middle School Version (SCS-MS)
This study presents the procedures for adapting the School Climate Survey – Revised, Elementary and Middle School Version (SCS-MS) to the Brazilian context and demonstrates the first evidence of the validity of its use among elementary school students. Participants were 511 children (52,1 % girls) from Porto Alegre, between 3rd and 5th grade. Analysis of internal validity was performed by evaluating the factor structure of the instrument, and ana…
Psychometric properties of the positivity scale - Brazilian version
This study presents the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Positivity Scale (P-Scale). Participants were 730 subjects (65% women), aged from 17 to 70 years old (M = 31.0 years; SD = 11.43), from 21 Brazilian states. The sample was randomly split in two halves to cross-validate the results. With the first half of the sample (n 1 = 365), an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted. With the second half of the sample (n 2…

Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Brazilian Version of the Five-item Mental Health Index (MHI-5)
This study presents the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the five-item Mental Health Index (MHI-5). Participants were 524 subjects (69.8% women), aged from 18 to 88 years old (M = 38.3; SD = 13.26), from 17 Brazilian states. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a single-factor solution. Reliability was assessed using alpha reliability, average variance extracted and composite reliability. Convergent validity w…
Dimensionalidade da escala de estresse percebido (Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10) em uma amostra de professores
O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar a dimensionalidade da Escala de Estresse Percebido em sua versão de 10 itens (PSS-10) em uma amostra de professores (N = 517). Uma análise fatorial exploratória pelo método de extração minimum rank factor analysis, utilizando a matriz de correlações policóricas e o critério de análise paralela para retenção dos fatores indicou a solução unifatorial como a mais ajustada aos dados. Os itens possuíram c…
Effects of statistical models and items difficulties on making trait-level inferences
Researchers dealing with the task of estimating locations of individuals on continuous latent variables may rely on several statistical models described in the literature. However, weighting costs and benefits of using one specific model over alternative models depends on empirical information that is not always clearly available. Therefore, the aim of this simulation study was to compare the performance of seven popular statistical models in pro…
The Peer Aggressive and Reactive Behavior Questionnaire (Parb-Q)
The Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale - Revised (Asas-R)
This study presents the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale - Revised (ASAS-R). The sample was made up of 627 subjects (69.8% women) aged between 18 and 88 years (mean = 38.3; SD = 13.26) from 17 Brazilian states. Exploratory factor analysis of part of the sample (n1 = 200) yielded a three-factor solution which showed adequate levels of reliability. Two confirmatory factor analyses of the ot…
Development and validation of a questionnaire to evaluate overt aggression and reactions to peer aggression
This study presents the psychometric properties of the Peer Aggressive and Reactive Behaviors Questionnaire (PARB-Q), a self-report questionnaire to measure child overt aggression (PA) and reaction to peer aggression (RPA). Participants were 587 Italian elementary school children, aged 7-10 years (51.5% female). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses presented a one-factor solution for the PA scale and a three-factor solution for the RPA sc…
Adaptação e validação de instrumentos psicológicos entre culturas
A adaptação de instrumentos psicológicos é um processo complexo que requer elevado rigor metodológico. Por não haver consenso na literatura sobre suas etapas, o presente artigo discute alguns aspectos essenciais concernentes à adaptação transcultural de instrumentos psicológicos e propõe diretrizes aos pesquisadores sobre os diferentes passos desse processo. São apresentadas, também, algumas considerações referentes à validação do instrumento ada…
