Abstract(s)
A Disponibilidade Emocional (DE) é um construto em expansão na literatura científica
devido à sua relevância ao nível da saúde mental e bem-estar, bem como pela sua
influência no desenvolvimento, em diferentes domínios, nomeadamente no emocional e
cognitivo. No entanto, evidencia-se uma escassez de instrumentos adaptados e validados
para a população portuguesa. O presente estudo pretendeu a adaptação e validação da
escala Lum emotional availability of parents (LEAP), desenvolvida por Lum e Phares em
2005 para a população norte-americana. A LEAP visa avaliar a DE percebida dos filhos
(entre os 18-25 anos), relativamente aos pais. O presente estudo contou com 413
participantes, 83% do sexo feminino. Para além da LEAP utilizou-se o EMBU, a EDREVR,
a EVA e ainda a EDS-20. A LEAP foi traduzida de acordo com o procedimento
tradução-retroversão. A análise fatorial confirmatória evidenciou que a LEAP materna e
a LEAP paterna apresentam índices de ajustamento satisfatórios. Foi realizada uma
análise fatorial confirmatória. Os fatores LEAP materna e a LEAP paterna apresentam
uma boa consistência interna, bem como resultados adequados relativos às validades,
nomeadamente convergente associando-se significativa e positivamente com a dimensão
de Apoio Emocional (conforto e aceitação) e negativamente com as dimensões
Sobreproteção (desvalorização e pressão) e Rejeição (intrusão e controlo excessivo). A
DE parental correlaciona-se positivamente com a RE, evidenciando a validade
convergente. A versão Portuguesa da Lum Emotional Availability of Parents (LEAP), a
LEAP-PT apresenta propriedades psicométricas adequadas, com potencial para ser
utilizada por profissionais e investigadores no âmbito da avaliação da disponibilidade
emocional parental percebida em jovens adultos portugueses, dos 18 aos 25 anos de idade.
Emotional Availability (EA) is a construct which is expanding in the scientific literature due to its relevance in mental health and well-being, as well as its influence on the development of different domains, particularly the emotional and cognitive domains. However, there is a lack of instruments adapted and validated for the Portuguese population. The present study aimed at adapting and validating the Lum emotional availability of parents (LEAP) scale, developed by Lum and Phares in 2005 for the North American population. LEAP aims at assessing the perceived EA of children (aged 18-25 years), regarding their parents. The present study had 413 participants, 83% female. In addition to LEAP, we used the EMBU, EDRE-SF, EVA, and EDS-20. The LEAP was translated according to the translation-retroversion procedure. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that maternal LEAP and paternal LEAP have satisfactory adjustment rates. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed. Maternal and paternal LEAP factors showed good internal consistency and adequate results regarding validities, namely convergent, being significantly and positively associated with the Emotional Support dimension (comfort and acceptance) and negatively associated with the Overprotection (devaluation and pressure) and Rejection (intrusion and excessive control) dimensions. Parental DE correlates positively with ER, showing convergent validity. The Portuguese version of the Lum Emotional Availability of Parents (LEAP), the LEAP-PT, shows adequate psychometric properties, with potential to be used by professionals and researchers to assess the perceived parental emotional availability in young Portuguese adults aged 18 to 25 years old.
