En este artículo presentamos los resultados preliminares de la primera etapa del proceso de adaptación y traducción del FACES IV (Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales), que mide funcionalidad familiar. El Modelo Circunflejo (Olson, 1999) constituye el sustento teórico de este instrumento, utilizado en sus cuatro versiones, en investigaciones de nivel internacional. Nuestro equipo, contando desde el inicio con el aval de los autores, se propuso como primer objetivo la traducción y el estudio preliminar de la unidimensionalidad de las escalas del instrumento. El mismo fue aplicado a 584 sujetos de Montevideo (Uruguay), en cuatro muestras pilotos consecutivos. En este artículo se presentarán la primera y última administración (275 sujetos). Los resultados del estudio de dimensionalidad en cada escala, evidencian que solamente la escala caótica no es unidimensional. La fiabilidad provisoria para las escalas que conforman el FACES IV son: Cohesión balanceada =.71; Flexibilidad balanceada =.64; Desligada =.77; Enmarañada =.63; Rígida =.68; Caótica =.65; Comunicación =.88 y Satisfacción =.94.

The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale IV (FACES IV) has been widely used to assess family functioning and to implement family therapeutic interventions. Cross-cultural adaptation is needed given the high sensitivity of family norms with culture. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the FACES IV in the context of Saudi culture. The sample consisted of 369 participants (270 females and 99 males) aged between 13 and 70. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the FACES IV model, after some adjustments. The findings indicated that FACES IV was a reliable and valid measure that can be used in the context of Saudi Arabia. The study showed some particularities with the rigid and enmeshed dimensions and concurred with previous validation studies in suggesting that these dimensions must be investigated further with respect to different cultures.

Motivation Scale

Religion is a construct widely present in most people’s lives. Religious motivations, either intrinsic or extrinsic, as well as religious centrality, are crucial aspects of religion. In the Portuguese population, there are no validated instruments to assess these aspects of religion. Accordingly, this study intends to validate the Intrinsic Religious Motivation Scale (IRMS) and the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) for the Portuguese population. This is a validation study whose sample consists of 326 participants (73.1% women) from the general population. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out and the correlations between the constructs and self-compassion were determined to assess the convergent and divergent validity. The results obtained confirm the existence of models adjusted to the population, allowing us to conclude that the instruments are reliable for assessing the studied constructs. The validation of the IRMS and CRS for the Portuguese population is of outstanding importance, as it provides researchers in the field with valid instruments and psychometric qualities to carry out research within religion and religiosity.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, attributed to a non-progressive disorder that occurs in the developing brain. The family of a child with CP becomes essential and will be much in demand, both to drive the child’s development in a favourable environment and to maintain his health. A well-functioning family and a variety of environmental stimuli can be decisive in supporting children with CP.Objective: To analyse family dynamics and the availability of child development-promoting resources in the family environment of children with CP.Methods: We recruited a sample of 25 mothers of children with PC in the Hospital das Clínicas of Ribeirão Preto. Mothers completed the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES IV), the Inventory of the Family Environment Resources (FER) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: The average age of mothers was 32.3 (±7.6) years; 68 per cent had completed at least primary education and 80 per cent were living with a partner. The average age of the children was 48.0 (±15.5) months; 56 per cent were girls and 68 per cent attended day care or preschool. Moderate correlations were observed between environmental resources and family functioning (0.39<r<0.70), and the FACES IV indicative scales of good family functioning showed positive correlations with the overall score of FER.Conclusion: Children with PC have few opportunities to participate in activities outside the home, but have received a good supply of resources in their homes. Well-functioning family dynamics showed an association with a greater supply of resources in the domestic environment.

Funcionamiento Familiar

Este estudio instrumental analiza las propiedades psicométricas de una  escala que evalúa el funcionamiento familiar a partir del Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES IV; Olson, 2011), aplicada a una muestra de 356 familias, mediante muestreo incidental en Montevideo.  Se evalúa la estructura factorial, fiabilidad y validez de la versión abreviada. Se prueba mediante Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) el modelo de 6 factores que incluye dos escalas balanceadas (cohesión y flexibilidad) y cuatro escalas desbalanceadas (caótica, rígida, desligada, y enmarañada), cada una con 4 ítems. Todas las escalas demostraron tener adecuadas propiedades psicométricas, el AFC presenta índices de ajuste aceptables (RMSEA = .034; CFI = .92; TLI = .91; IFI = .92). Esta versión del instrumento resulta útil para la investigación del funcionamiento familiar. Es necesario realizar más estudios para mejorar su adaptación a nuestra cultura, analizando la validez de contenido en las escalas enmarañada y rígida.

Revised Conflict Tactics Scales

Diferentes caraterísticas familiares podem influenciar as táticas usadas pelos irmãos para resolver conflitos. O presente estudo analísa a relação entre o funcionamento familiar (medido pelas Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales – FACES IV) e as táticas de resolução de conflitos (avaliadas através das Revised Conflict Tactics Scales – Sibling Version; CTS2-SP). A amostra foi constituída por 353 sujeitos (entre os 12 e os 18 anos de idade). Os resultados indicaram que os rapazes são quem mais utiliza a agressão física sem sequelas. Relativamente à relação entre o funcionamento familiar e as táticas de resolução de conflitos, as dimensões equilibradas do funcionamento familiar encontram-se associadas positivamente às táticas de resolução de conflitos adequadas (a negociação), verificando-se o oposto para as dimensões desequilibradas do funcionamento familiar, que apresentam associações positivas a agressão (física e/ou psicológica). Os resultados sugerem um efeito preditor da qualidade do funcionamento familiar nas táticas de resolução de conflitos utilizadas no contexto fraterno. Será então importante que se desenvolvam ações junto da comunidade no sentido de sensibilizar para a magnitude e consequências nefastas da violência na fratria, trabalhando as competências comunicacionais das famílias, para melhorar a coesão e a satisfação familiares para uma gestão mais positiva dos conflitos na fratria.
