Abstract(s)
A Escala de Avaliação da Coesão e Flexibilidade Familiar, desenvolvida no âmbito do estudo do
Modelo Circumplexo dos Sistemas Conjugais e Familiares, permite avaliar o funcionamento familiar
através de um diagnóstico relacional. Este instrumento está subdividido em seis subescalas que
permitem uma avaliação dos níveis equilibrados e disfuncionais (extremamente baixos e extremamente
elevados) das dimensões de coesão e flexibilidade familiar. O Pacote FACES IV inclui ainda dois
questionários que permitem a avaliação da comunicação e satisfação familiar. O presente artigo analisa
as propriedades psicométricas dos instrumentos incluídos no Pacote FACES IV junto de uma amostra
de adolescentes portugueses em dois estudos. No primeiro estudo, incluímos um grupo comunitário
de 757 estudantes e um grupo clínico de 67 adolescentes que recorrem a consultas psiquiátricas. Os
resultados deste estudo revelaram um modelo fatorial de 24 itens com qualidades psicométricas
satisfatórias, permitindo concluir um ajustamento aceitável à nossa amostra. No segundo estudo, a
solução fatorial obtida no estudo anterior foi replicada junto de uma amostra independente de 707
jovens estudantes. Os resultados desta validação apresentam o FACES IV como um instrumento útil
para o diagnóstico familiar junto de adolescentes portugueses.
The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, developed by in the framework of the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems, assess family functioning through a relational diagnosis. This instrument is subdivided into six subscales, allowing an assessment of the balanced and dysfunctional levels (extremely low and extremely high) of the dimensions of family cohesion and flexibility. The FACES IV Package also includes two scales that evaluate family communication and satisfaction. The present article analyzes the psychometric properties of the instruments included in the FACES IV Package with a sample of Portuguese adolescents in two studies. In the first study, we included a community group of 757 students and a clinical group of 67 adolescents attending psychiatric appointments. The results of this study revealed a factorial model of 24 items with satisfactory psychometric qualities, showing an acceptable adjustment to our sample. In the second study, the factorial solution obtained in the previous study was replicated with an independent sample of 707 young students. The results of this validation, show that FACES IV is a useful tool for family diagnosis among Portuguese adolescents.
