Abstract(s)
Desde há vários anos, a família tem sofrido mudanças significativas, resultando numa maior probabilidade de coexistência e convivência de várias gerações familiares. Consequentemente, as
relações intergeracionais, nomeadamente entre avós e netos, têm assumido grande relevância na
investigação nacional e internacional. O presente trabalho pretende adaptar a Escala de Significados
da Grã-Parentalidade versão avós – ESGP-A – (Triadó & Villar, 2000) à população portuguesa.
Participaram 294 avôs/avós com idades compreendidas entre os 52 e os 90 anos. O valor global
de alfa de Cronbach da adaptação foi de 0,85, variando entre 0,62 e 0,88 para as 5 respetivas
sub-escalas, com um total de 27 itens, tendo variância explicada total de 53,2%. As qualidades
psicométricas da escala, consideradas aceitáveis, apontam para um instrumento com potencial para
a investigação em Portugal. Pretende-se, em futuros desenvolvimentos, melhorar os valores de alfa de
Cronbach das sub-escalas com valores inferiores a 0,70, acrescentado novos itens que visam ainda
aumentar a variância explicada. Apesar das diferenças encontradas na organização dos itens das
várias sub-escalas, mantém-se a coerência conceptual subjacente à escala original. Discutem-se e
justificam-se as diferenças em relação à versão original e ponderam-se as limitações desta adaptação,
apontando-se futuros desenvolvimentos.
In the last few years, family has been suffering significant changes, which result in a greater probability of several family generations coexisting and living together. As a consequence, intergenerational relationships, namelly between grandparent and grandchild, are gaining relevance in both national and international research. This investigation is intended to adapt the Escala de Significados da Grã-Parentalidade grandparent version – ESGP-A – (Triadó & Villar, 2000) to the Portuguese population. 294 grandparents took part of the study, with ages between 52 and 90. The global Cronbach’s alpha value is .85, ranging from .62 to .88 on the respective five subscales, with a total of 27 items and with a 53.2% global variance. The scale’s psychometric qualities, deemed acceptable, point out an instrument with potential in Portugal. It is intended, in future developments, to improve the Cronbach’s alpha values under .70, adding new items, also aiming to improve variance values. In spite of the differences found on the subscales item organization, the original conceptual coherence is preserved. The differences between the adapted and the original scales are discussed and the adapted scale limitations are pondered, pointing out future developments.
