Factorial structure of the self-construal scale: testing alternative models
Since its publication, the Self-Construal Scale has been an important instrument in self-construal measuring. The Self-Construal Scale was adapted to a Brazilian population by Gouveia, Singelis and Coelho (2002), who confirmed its two-factor structure (i.e., Independent and Interdependent Self-Const...

| Resumo: | Since its publication, the Self-Construal Scale has been an important instrument in self-construal measuring. The Self-Construal Scale was adapted to a Brazilian population by Gouveia, Singelis and Coelho (2002), who confirmed its two-factor structure (i.e., Independent and Interdependent Self-Construal). Recently, however, six factors underlying items on the Self-Construal Scale were found (Hardin, Leong & Bhagwat, 2004). The present study reports confirmatory factor analyses of data from 658 Brazilian undergraduate students, most of them males and with ages ranging from 17 to 42 years old (19.9±2.5). A hierarchical model, with six first-order and two second-order factors, presented good fit for the data [χ2(398)= 1163.99; goodness-of-fit index = .89; ajusted goodness-of-fit index= .88; root mean square error of approximation= .054; standardized root mean square residual= .064]. Results also provide support for the usefulness of these new factorsin exploring correlation with basic human values and gender differences. |
