Resumo(s)
PURPOSE: Translate, adapt the language, and assess the psychometric properties of
theMental Vulnerability Questionnaire (MVQ) in a Portuguese population sample
of young adults.
DESIGN AND METHODS: A psychometric validation study was performed. The
sample comprised 166 undergraduate students. Factor analysis was applied to
extract three indicators.
FINDINGS: The MVQ showed divergent validity with the Positive Mental Health
Questionnaire (p<.001) and convergent validity with theMental Health Inventory
including five items (p < .001). Reliability was verified through the assessment of
internal consistency, evidencing positive outcomes (Cronbach’s α = 0.81).
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The MVQ shows psychometric properties enabling
its adaptation to clinical practice and research, essential to an effective screening of
mental vulnerability.
