Abstract

A Escala Multidimensional de Suporte Social Percebido (MSPSS), originalmente desenvolvida por Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, e Farley (1988), foi criada para avaliar subjectivamente o suporte social proveniente da família, dos amigos e de outros significativos. Neste trabalho apresentam-se as características psicométricas da versão portuguesa da MSPSS. A escala foi avaliada num grupo de estudantes (n = 454), num grupo da população geral (n = 261) e num grupo de doentes com depressão major (n = 100). A análise factorial demonstrou a existência de três factores (Família, Amigos e Outros Significativos). Igualmente apresentou uma boa consistência interna, entre .85 e .95, considerando os três factores, os três grupos e ambos os géneros; apresentou uma adequada validade de construto e a estabilidade teste-reteste no grupo de estudantes e população geral apresentou valores entre .40 e .91. Os alfas de Cronbach no reteste oscilaram entre .87 e .95. A presente versão da MSPSS mostrou ter qualidades psicométricas adequadas para ser utilizada em estudantes, em sujeitos da população geral bem como em populações com psicopatologia depressiva, sendo necessária agora a continuação da investigação em outras amostras e utilizando estudos de seguimento.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
