The Altruistic behavior favors social connection is so important to the welfare and survival. This is understood as a voluntary behavior help carried out with the intention to benefit others, motivated by the desire to meet the receiver's needs and does not take into account when conducting the rewards from the action and involves cost by the altruist. The aim of this study was to construct and evaluate evidence content validity of dispositional altruism scale for adults (EADA). To achieve the objectives of this study consisted of three studies. Study I aimed the construction of EADA. For this there were two revisions in literature. The first narrative nature raised altruism descriptors that were the basis for the concept of altruism. The second review was systematic in nature and identified the measures of self-reported that assess altruism. For the construction of the scale interview data were used in a previous study, the descriptors found by narrative review and reworded items of altruism measures selected by systematic review. The results of the narrative review show altruism six descriptors. Through the systematic review were identified four self-report measures to assess altruistic behavior. From the reviews were built 86 direct and inverse items that assess the selfless disposition. These were based on five categories: 1) It involves cost, 2) Volunteer, 3) is not designed to reward, 4) Focused on the other, and 5) satisfaction through the other. Study II sought evidence of EADA content validity by experts and included the participation of four experts in pro social behavior that assessed the adequacy and comprehensiveness of the items. As in Study III was conducted to scale pilot application in a sample of 10 participants with an average age of 33.7 and standard deviation of 7.33. After the qualitative assessments of the items the final version of EADA consisted of 57 items. The three studies in this research contribute to the field of altruism evaluation in Brazil. It is expected that the results of these studies elicit new research using the EADA to assess altruism, thus contributing to the expansion of knowledge of this phenomenon
