Resumo: Social support has been studied as an important variable, related to several aspects of Human behaviour and psychological well-being. During adolescence, the perception of support from the most important network resources - such as family, peers and teachers - seems to be related to the children's psychosocial adjustment, self-esteem and identity development. This study aimed to observe the psychometric qualities of an instrument developed by Vaux et al (1986) to assess the adolescents' perception of emotional support from family, peers and teachers. The "Social Support Appraisals" scale (SSA) was adapted to Portuguese students between 7th and 12th grades and it was analyzed in its reliability and factorial validity, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability revealed to be better in older students and CFA revealed a hierarchical structure, with a second order factor (emotional support) and three first order factors - emotional support from teachers, peers and family.

Durante a adolescência, a percepção de apoio social parece estar relacionada com o ajustamento psicossocial do adolescente e com o processo de desenvolvimento da sua auto-estima e da sua identidade. Este estudo aprecia algumas das qualidades psicométricas de um instrumento construído por Vaux para avaliar a percepção dos adolescentes do apoio emocional recebido da família, dos amigos e dos professores, o Social Support Appraisal (SSA). A sua consistência interna em estudantes portugueses do 7º ao 12º ano de escolaridade é satisfatória e melhora com a progressão na escolaridade. A sua estrutura, evidenciada graças ao recurso à técnica de modelação de estruturas covariantes (análise fatorial confirmatória, com o programa EQS, Bentler) revelou-se multidimensional e hierárquica, formada por um fator de segunda ordem e por três fatores de primeira ordem, que diferenciam a percepção de apoio social dos amigos, dos professores e da família.
