Abstract(s)
Constatada a escassez de estudos sobre a Satisfação com a Vida (SV) em adultos idosos, o
objectivo deste trabalho consistiu na validação da versão portuguesa do Índice de Satisfação
com a Vida (ISV; Diniz, Amado & Gouveia, no prelo) para com ele proceder ao estudo da
relação entre o género e o meio geográfico de residência e a SV. Os 154 participantes (leque
etário = 65-90 anos; M = 74) que voluntariamente colaboraram no estudo eram residentes em
comunidades rurais e urbanas. Recorrendo à análise factorial confirmatória (LISREL8.53), a
estrutura unifactorial do ISV apresentou uma boa validade convergente e uma boa fiabilidade.
No segundo estudo, foi testado o Modelo Preditor de SV em Adultos Idosos, onde o género, e
o meio (rural vs. urbano) foram tidos como antecedentes da dimensão SV. Verificou-se que
ambas as variáveis foram boas preditoras da SV e que foram os homens e os residentes em
meio urbano que apresentaram mais SV.
Given the scarcity of studies on the Satisfaction with Life (LS) in older adults, the objectives of this study consisted in the validation of the Portuguese version of the Index of Satisfaction with Life (ISV; Diniz, Amado & Gouveia, no prelo) for with him proceed with the study of the relation between gender and geographical environment of residence and the LS. The 154 participants (age range= 65-90 years, M=74) who willingly collaborated in the study were residents in rural and urban communities. Using the confirmatory factor analysis (LISREL 8.53), the unidimensional structure of the ISV showed a good convergent validity and a good reliability. In the second study, we tested the predictor Model of LS in Elderly Adults, where the gender, and the environment (rural vs. urban) were taken as antecedents of LS dimension. It was found that both variables were predictors of LS and were men and urban residents who have more LS.
