| contents | Internal Structure of the Characters Strengths Scale in Brazil Ana Paula Porto Noronha Letícia Lovato Dellazzana-Zanon Cristian Zanon Psicología The investigation of strengths and virtues is in the spotlight in the field of Positive Psychology because evidence suggests that strengths can help people to cope with adversities. This study aims to evaluate the internal structure of the Characters Strengths Scale (CSS), a test based on Values in Action model, through rigorous factor retention methods. Participants were 426 Brazilian undergraduate students with age between 18 and 57 years (M = 23.29, SD = 6.67). Factor analysis indicated one factor, which explained 32% of variance, as the most appropriate solution for the 24 strengths. Unidimensionality was suggested by different factor retention methods, what does not corroborate previous international findings and indicate the necessity of additional studies with this scale in different Brazilian populations. 2015 artículo científico 1413-8271 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401041538005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4010 Psico-USF application/pdf Universidade São Francisco Psico-USF (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.20 |
