Abstract
The current study developed the European Portuguese version of the Psy-Flex. Its factor structure was studied through confirmatory factor analysis in a large community sample (N = 700) and cross-validated in calibration and validation samples created from the original sample. Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a sample and sex-invariant single-factor structure with a very good fit to the data. These analyses supported good reliability and test-retest reliability in the PsyFlex European Portuguese version. Correlations with related and unrelated constructs were indicative of convergent and predictive validity. Because it is short and easy-to-use, it reduces participant burden and may be useful in clinical and research settings. The European Portuguese Psy-Flex version will allow the broadening of research possibilities not only in Portugal but also across cultural contexts.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS).
Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.
