Resumo: ObjectiveCharacter strengths are positive human characteristics that indicate a happy and successful life. The objective was to select items for the Character Strengths Scale-Brief instrument and to identify its psychometric properties.MethodExploratory factor analysis and qualitative analysis of the items (Study 1) were performed in a database of 4,540 people who responded to the Character Strengths Scale (71 items). In Study 2, 1,014 participants responded to the Character Strengths Scale-Brief (48 items).ResultsThe psychometric indices identified in the confirmatory factor analyses were unsatisfactory for the instrument when considering structures previously reported in the literature.ConclusionAfter successive analyses, the structure of two factors of first order was considered the most adequate for the Character Strengths Scale-Brief (18 items), with better fit indexes and theoretical relevance. The results were discussed in the light of the literature.

Neste artigo, objetivou-se selecionar itens para elaborar a Escala de Forças de Caráter-Breve e identificar as propriedades psicométricas do instrumento.MétodoForam realizadas análises fatoriais exploratórias e qualitativas dos itens (Estudo 1) a partir informações coletadas em um banco de dados composto por 4.540 registros de respostas à Escala de Forças de Caráter (71 itens). No Estudo 2, 1.014 participantes responderam à Escala de Forças de Caráter-Breve (48 itens). ResultadosOs índices psicométricos identificados nas análises fatoriais confirmatórias foram insatisfatórios para o instrumento quando consideradas as estruturas relatadas anteriormente na literatura.ConclusãoApós sucessivas análises, a estrutura de dois fatores de primeira ordem foi considerada a mais adequada para a Escala de Forças de Caráter-Breve (18 itens), com melhores índices de ajuste e pertinência teórica. Os resultados foram discutidos à luz da literatura.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-11-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10416Psychological Studies; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 40 (2023): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPengporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10416/7793https://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/10416/7962Copyright (c) 2023 Helder Henrique Viana BATISTA, Ana Paula Porto NORONHAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBATISTA, Helder Henrique VianaNORONHA, Ana Paula Porto2024-04-23T10:36:29Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/10416Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-23T10:36:29Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
