Abstract(s)
O perfecionismo tem vindo a ser caraterizado como a combinação de padrões extremamente elevados e autocríticos, associados ao medo de falhar. É pertinente avaliar este traço de personalidade proporcionando uma melhor compreensão das repercussões associadas à saúde mental. Neste sentido, o objetivo principal desta investigação é o estudo das caraterísticas psicométricas da Escala Quase Perfeita - Versão Revista (APS-R) numa amostra de jovens adultos portugueses. O APS-R é um dos instrumentos de avaliação do perfecionismo mais utilizados a nível mundial e apresenta validade estrutural e consistência interna adequada numa variedade de culturas.
A amostra total foi constituída por 105 jovens adultos, maioritariamente de nacionalidade portuguesa, de ambos os sexos (79% mulheres e 21% homens), e com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 30 anos (M = 23,61, DP = 2,934). Os participantes preencheram um Questionário Sociodemográfico e duas medidas de avaliação do perfecionismo.
Globalmente, os resultados refletiram boas propriedades psicométricas. Este instrumento obteve um valor de consistência interna satisfatório (alfa de Cronbach = ,89). Relativamente à Análise Fatorial Confirmatória realizada, o modelo testado na presente amostra revelou um ajustamento aceitável.
O APS-R trata-se de um instrumento fiável e válido para o estudo do perfecionismo em Portugal.
Perfectionism has come to be characterized as the combination of extremely high and self-critical standards, associated with the fear of failure. It is pertinent to evaluate this personality trait, providing a better understanding of the repercussions associated with mental health. The main objective of this investigation involves the study of the psychometric characteristics of the Almost Perfect Scale - Revised Version (APS-R) in a sample of young portuguese adults. APS-R is one of the most frequently used instruments for assessing perfectionism worldwide and has structural validity and adequate internal consistency in a variety of cultures. The total sample consisted of 105 young adults, mostly of Portuguese nationality, of both genders (79% women and 21% men), aged between 18 and 30 years (M = 23,61, SD = 2,934. Participants completed a Sociodemographic Questionnaire and two assessment measures of perfectionism. Overall, the results reflected good psychometric properties. This instrument obtained a satisfactory internal consistency value (Cronbach's alpha = ,89). Regarding the Confirmatory Factor Analysis performed, the model tested in the present sample revealed an acceptable adjustment. The APS-R is a reliable and valid instrument for the study of perfectionism in Portugal.
