Os objectivos deste trabalho consistiram, num primeiro momento, na validação estrutural da
versão adaptada para adultos idosos do Inventário Clínico de Auto-Conceito (ICAC; Vaz
Serra, 1986) e da versão portuguesa da Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale – Revised
version (SLCS-R; Tafarodi & Swann, 2001) e num segundo momento, na criação de um
Modelo Preditor da Auto-Eficácia em adultos idosos, para testar a validade divergente da
versão portuguesa da SLCS-R, a Escala de Auto-Aprovação e Auto-Competência - Revista
(EAAAC-R; Pelouro, 2006). A amostra foi constituída por 240 sujeitos de ambos os géneros
(leque etário: 65-90 anos; M = 72), que voluntariamente colaboraram no estudo, autónomos e
funcionais, residentes na área da Grande Lisboa. Recorrendo à análise factorial confirmatória
(LISREL 8.53), verificou-se que a Escala de Auto-Competência Diária (EACD; Vieira &
Diniz, 2006), versão adaptada do ICAC, apresentou boa fiabilidade compósita e boa validade
convergente em ambos os seus factores (auto-eficácia e aceitação/rejeição social); a EAAACR
apresentou boa validade convergente nos seus dois factores (auto-competência e autoaprovação),
assim como boa fiabilidade compósita mas não tinha boa validade discriminante.
Os resultados encontrados no teste de validade externa da EAAAC-R sugerem que apenas um
dos factores da auto-estima (auto-competência), no teste de validade divergente, se relacionou
com a auto-eficácia.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work consisted, firstly, in the structural validation of the adapted version for the old adults of the Inventário Clínico de Auto-Conceito (ICAC; Vaz Serra, 1986) and the portuguese version of the Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale - Revised Version (SLCS-R; Tafarodi & Swann, 2001) and secondly, in the creation of a Preditor Model of Self-Esteem in old-adults, to test the divergent validity of the portuguese version of the SLCS-R, the Escala de Auto-Aprovação e Auto-Competência - Revista (EAAAC-R; Pelouro, 2006). The sample was constituted by 240 individuals of both genders (aged: 65-90 years, M = 72), which voluntarily cooperated in the study, independent and functional, living in the greater Lisbon area. Using the confirmatory factor analysis (LISREL 8.53), it was found that the Escala de Auto-Competência Diária (EACD; Vieira & Diniz, 2006), adapted version of the ICAC, showed good composite reliability and good convergent validity in both its factors (selfefficacy and social acceptance/rejection); the EAAAC-R had good convergent validity in the two factors (self-competence and self-linking), as well as good composite reliability but not so good discriminant validity. The results of extern validity of the EAAAC-R suggest that only one of the factors of self-esteem (self-competence), in the divergente validity test, captures the relation with self-efficacy
