Resumo
A co-preocupação está associada a resultados positivos (e.g., apoio e conforto) e a resultados negativos (e.g., ter consequência negativas para o seu relacionamento e para os indivíduos envolvidos nesse relacionamento) podendo contribuir de forma significativa para o
desenvolvimento e manutenção de estados ansiosos e depressivos. Através de um desenho
quantitativo transversal, o presente estudo pretendeu adaptar e validar a versão Abbreviated
Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-A) para a co-preocupação em relações amorosas (CO PSWQ-A) e analisar as suas propriedades psicométricas. Dado o procedimento analítico
implicar uma análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) e outra confirmatória (AFC), a amostra geral
foi aleatoriamente dividida em duas subamostras. A subamostra 1 corresponde à AFE, é
composta por 129 participantes e a subamostra 2 à AFC com 126 participantes. O CO-PSWQ A apresentou índices satisfatórios de consistência interna (a =.90). O instrumento apresentou
validade de construto. A correlação positiva com o PSWQ-A demonstraram haver validade
convergente e a validade discriminante foi demostrada pela inexistência de correlações entre o
CO-PSWQ-A e o The Sexual Pleasure Scale. Os resultados evidenciam boas propriedades
psicométrica do CO-PSWQ-A e sugerem que é um instrumento útil e válido para medir a co preocupação em contexto de relações amorosas.
Co-worry is associated with positive results (e.g., mutual support and comfort) and negative results (e.g., negative results to the relationship as well as to the people involved) and can significantly contribute to the development and maintenance of anxious and depressive states. Through a transversal and quantitative design, this study purpose was to adapt and validate the Abbreviated Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-A) to co-worry in romantic relationships (CO-PSWQ-A) and to analyze its psychometric properties. Since the analytical procedure involves an exploratory factor analysis (AFE) and a confirmatory one (AFC), the general sample was randomly divided into two subsamples. Subsample 1 corresponds to AFE, is composed of 129 participants, and subsample 2 to AFC with 126 participants. The CO PSWQ-A presented satisfactory internal consistency indexes (a = .90). The instrument showed construct validity. The positive correlation with PSWQ-A showed convergent validity and discriminant validity was demonstrated by the lack of correlations between CO-PSWQ-A and The Sexual Pleasure Scale. The results point to good psychometric properties of the CO-PSWQ A and suggest it as a useful and valid instrument for measuring co-concern in romantic relationships.
