Avaliar as crenças sobre as emoções é um aspeto fundamental para compreender de que forma estas influenciam as estratégias de regulação emocional, assim como o desenvolvimento de psicopatologia. O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar a estrutura fatorial do Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ), contribuindo para o processo da sua validação no contexto português. Este instrumento avalia as crenças das emoções em duas dimensões principais, a controlabilidade e a utilidade. Foi utilizada uma amostra constituída por 125 adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 15 anos (M = 13.35, DP = .99). Os resultados demostraram uma consistência interna revelando valores de confiabilidade bons a excelentes. Foram, ainda, analisadas a validade concorrente e a invariância entre géneros e idade. Relativamente ao primeiro os resultados indicaram uma correspondência significativa no que se refere ao tema abordado. Relativamente à invariância, o género revelou-se invariável, ao contrário da idade, que mostrou interferência nos resultados. A análise à estrutura, revelou que os dados suportam dois modelos distintos, um de quatro fatores e outro de três, sendo que o primeiro se revelou melhor ajustado, resultando numa estrutura de dois fatores de utilidade divididos por valência e dois fatores de controlabilidade também eles divididos por valência. Os dados também parecem suportar um modelo de segunda ordem, apoiando a existência de um construto de crenças sobre as emoções multidimensional e coerente. Em termos gerais, o presente estudo suporta o EBQ como uma medida adequada e válida para a avaliação das crenças sobre as emoções.
Assessing beliefs about emotions is a key aspect to understand how they influence emotion regulation strategies, as well as the development of psychopathology. The present study aims to verify the factorial structure of the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ), contributing to the process of its validation in the Portuguese context. This instrument assesses the beliefs of emotions in two main dimensions: controllability and usefulness. A sample of 125 adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years (M = 13.35, SD = .99) was used. The results showed an internal consistency revealing good to excellent reliability values. Concurrent validity and invariance between genders and age were also analyzed. Regarding the first, the results indicated a significant correspondence with regard to the theme addressed. Regarding invariance, gender proved to be invariable, unlike age, which interfered with the results. The analysis of the structure revealed that the data support two distinct models, one of four factors and the other of three, and the first was better fitted, resulting in a structure of two utility factors divided by valence and two controllability factors also divided by valence. The data also appear to support a second-order model, supporting the existence of a multidimensional and coherent construct of beliefs about emotions. In general terms, the present study supports the EBQ as an adequate and valid measure for the assessment of beliefs about emotions.
