Resumo: The feeling of social connectedness is an extremely important factor for the psychosocial well-being of individuals. Experiencing closeness, belonging, and mutual acknowledgement with the people who are part of the social circle, contributes to the establishment and maintenance of positive and stable relationships over time, as well as numerous benefits regarding the quality of life and mental health of individuals. In order to contribute to the field of study of interpersonal relationships, this study aims to adapt and validate the Social Connectedness Scale for Argentinean adults. The sample consisted of 399 individuals between the ages of 18 and 79 who completed the scale which was previously translated and submitted to expert judges. The results confirmed the one-dimensional structure of the scale, invariant by sex, with good internal consistency (ω = .92). Furthermore, evidence of convergent and discriminant validity was provided through correlations with measures of extroversion (rp=.37) and social anxiety (rp = -.61). It is concluded that the measures provided by the Argentinean version of the social connectedness scale are both valid and reliable to be used in research, as well as in clinical settings in Argentinean population.

Experimentar proximidade, filiação e reconhecimento mútuo com as pessoas que formam parte do circulo social contribui para o estabelecimento e manutenção de relacionamentos positivos e estáveis no tempo, como também numerosos benefícios na qualidade de vida e saúde mental dos indivíduos. A fim de contribuir para o campo de estudo das relações interpessoais, o objetivo deste estudo é adaptar e validar a Escala de Conexão Social para adultos argentinos. A amostra foi composta por 399 indivíduos entre 18 e 79 anos de idade, que completaram a escala previamente traduzida e submetida a análise de juízes especialistas. Os resultados confirmaram a estrutura unidimensional da escala com boa consistência interna (ω = .92) e invariante segundo sexo. Também foi obtida evidencia de validade convergente e discriminante, através de correlações com medidas de extroversão (rp=.37) e ansiedade social (rp = -.61). Conclui-se que a medida fornecida pela versão argentina da Escala de Conexão Social é válida e confiável para ser utilizada em pesquisa, como também com aplicações clínicas.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2022-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_3https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_3Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e065003Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e0650031647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_65reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9588https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9588/8857Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Valeria Moran, Victoria Curi, Nicolás Fabbro, Luciana Alessandrinihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoran, ValeriaCuri, VictoriaFabbro, NicolásAlessandrini, Luciana2023-05-31T13:59:52Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/9588Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:00.625924Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
