Abstract(s)
Este trabalho descreve a adaptação da “Empowerment Scale” (Rogers, Chamberlin, Ellison, & Crean; 1997),
numa amostra de conveniência constituída por 532 adultos saudáveis, com idade média de 37 anos (entre os 18 e
64 anos), 60% do sexo feminino e 40% do sexo masculino.
Usamos dois instrumentos de avaliação: Questionário Sóciodemográ#co e Escala de Empowerment (EE).
Para avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da escala usamos a análise factorial e da consistência interna. A escala
apresenta adequada consistência interna, com valores mais baixos para as cinco subescalas. A análise factorial
com os cinco factores, que explicam 45,5% da variância no nosso estudo, apresenta uma estrutura ligeiramente
diferente do modelo proposto na versão original.
Os resultados suportam a adequação do valor global da escala no estudo do empowerment na população
portuguesa, mas a estrutura das subescalas carece de uma análise mais detalhada.
