The Perceived Acceptance Scale - PAS (Brock, Sarason, Sanghvi & Gurung, 1998;
portuguesese version of Pinheiro & Ferreira, 2001) measure, within relationships
with father, mother, friends and family, the self appraisal that others care and value
us, independently of our occasional attitudes and actions.
Trying to contribute to the process of transcultural validation of PAS in this study,
with a college students sample, are presented and discussed the confirmatory factorial
analysis results, with a appropriated estimator for dealing with ordinal data.
We concluded that the proposed models reproduce adequately the structure of
each subscale and the all scale. In local adjustment analysis we verify that the R2
values that each factor extracts from each item are situated between .11 and .80,
requiring a carful interpretation of the semantic quality of some of them. There
are suggesting changes.
