Palavras-chave:
Avaliação, Escolares do ensino fundamental, NeuroticismoResumo
A presente investigação avalia o traço de neuroticismo em escolares por meio de metodologia multi-informe que inclui autorrelato, heterorrelato, entrevista semiestruturada e observação comportamental. Especificamente, objetiva identificar o grau de concordância na avaliação de neuroticismo entre as várias fontes de informação utilizadas. A amostra [N=368] constitui parte do "Estudo Longitudinal de Avaliação das Competências Psicológicas das Crianças do Centro Pedagógico/Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais". Na seleção de crianças com alto e baixo neuroticismo, utilizaram-se os resultados em duas escalas de autorrelato - Big Five Questionnaire for Children e o Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - Junior. Logo, uma subamostra de 68 crianças foi submetida à avaliação multi-informe. Os resultados mostraram correlação moderada entre as escalas neuroticismo dos instrumentos de autorrelato. Não houve associação significativa entre o relato de pais e o de professores quando avaliaram neuroticismo, mas sim associações positivas entre o autorrelato e as avaliações multi-informes. As observações comportamentais não se mostraram úteis na mensuração dos traços e as razões para tais resultados são discutidas. Conclui-se que o presente estudo trouxe importantes contribuições para a literatura da área no que se refere à avaliação multi-informe do neuroticismo em crianças brasileiras.
