Resumo
Atualmente, as pessoas têm maiores expectativas em relação a si e aos outros, que não somente a satisfação das suas necessidades básicas. Estas inspirações crescentes têm vindo a alterar a definição do conceito de qualidade no relacionamento conjugal, surgindo a importância de avaliar estas mudanças e de considerar o conceito de florescimento conjugal, um construto eudemónico que avalia dimensões mais profundas num relacionamento conjugal. Para tal, o objetivo geral desta dissertação foi adaptar e validar a Couple Flourishing Measure (CFM) para a População Portuguesa, em termos da sua validade e fiabilidade. Tratou-se de um estudo quantitativo e transversal, constituído por uma amostra de 245 participantes (69.4% do sexo feminino), com uma média de idades de 32 anos. Os/as participantes preencheram um protocolo de avaliação num único momento, disponível em formato online e em papel. Este era composto por um questionário sociodemográfico, pela CFM, pela Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) (avalia a saúde mental positiva) e pelo Couples Satisfaction Index 4 (CSI-4) (avalia a satisfação conjugal). Os resultados demonstraram a adequabilidade da versão portuguesa da escala CFM. Os dados suportam a estrutura unidimensional da CFM observada nos estudos originais da escala. A CFM apresenta uma consistência interna excelente ( = .95) e adequada validade convergente, através de correlações significativas e positivas observadas entre a CFM e a MHC-SF (r = .39, p =.001) e entre a CFM e o CSI-4 (r = .77, p =.001). Este estudo oferece assim um contributo importante para a Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde, fornecendo uma ferramenta que permite avaliar, de forma válida e fiável, o florescimento conjugal na população portuguesa.
Currently, people have higher expectations of themselves and others, not merely the satisfaction of their basic needs. These increasing aspirations have been changing the definition of the concept of quality in marital relationships, highlighting the importance of evaluating these changes and considering the concept of marital flourishing, which is an eudaimonic construct that assesses deeper dimensions in a marital relationship. In this context, the general objective of this dissertation was to adapt and validate the Couple Flourishing Measure (CFM) for the Portuguese population in terms of its validity and reliability. This was a quantitative and cross-sectional study, composed of a sample of 245 participants (69.4% female), with an average age of 32 years. The participants completed an assessment protocol at a single time point, available in both online and paper-pencil formats. It consisted of a sociodemographic questionnaire, the CFM, the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) (which evaluates positive mental health), and the Couples Satisfaction Index 4 (CSI-4) (which evaluates marital satisfaction). The results demonstrated the suitability of the Portuguese version of the CFM scale. The data support the unidimensional structure of the CFM observed in the original studies of the scale. The CFM exhibits excellent internal consistency ( = .95) and adequate convergent validity, through significant and positive correlations observed between the CFM and the MHC-SF (r = .39, p =.001) and between the CFM and the CSI 4 (r = .77, p =.001). This study thus offers an important contribution to Clinical and Health Psychology, providing a tool that allows assessment of marital flourishing in the Portuguese population in a valid and reliable way.
