Validade estrutural e validade externa da Self-assessed Wisdom Scale numa amostra de adultos idosos portuguese
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Os objectivos do presente trabalho consistiam na validação estrutural das versões
portuguesas da Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS; Webster, 2003) e da Rosenberg Self-
Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965) e na validação externa da versão portuguesa da SAWS,
através da criação e teste de um Modelo Preditor da Auto-Estima (MPAE) em adultos idosos.
Por métodos não probabilísticos, seleccionou-se uma amostra de 240 sujeitos autónomos e
voluntários, com um leque etário entre os 65 e os 90 anos (M=72,7), residentes na área da
Grande Lisboa e maioritariamente pertencentes ao género feminino (60,8%). Através da
modelação de equações estruturais (LISREL 8.53), obteve-se um modelo tetrafactorial
hierárquico de 21 itens da SAWS e um modelo unifactorial de sete itens da RSES, ambos bem
ajustados e com boas qualidades psicométricas. Por fim, obteve-se um bom ajustamento do
MPAE em adultos idosos, em que a sabedoria foi tida como preditora da Auto-Estima (AE),
tendo-se concluído que a sabedoria exerce uma influência positiva sobre a AE global.
ABSTRACT: The aims of this work were to validate the portuguese versions of the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS; Webster, 2003) and of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965) and to test the external validity of the Portuguese version of the SAWS, through the creation and test of a Predictor Model of the Self-Esteem (PMSE) in old adults. Using non-probabilistic methods, we selected a sample of 240 autonomous and volunteer subjects, with an age range between 65 and 90 years old (M=72,7), living in Lisbon and mostly women (60,8%). Through structural equation modelling (LISREL 8.53), we obtained a 21-item hierarchical model with four factors of the SAWS and a seven-item model of the RSES, both well adjusted and with good psychometric qualities. At last, we obtained a good adjustment of the PMSE in the elderly, in which wisdom was predicting Self-Esteem (SE). We concluded that wisdom has a positive influence on global SE.
