Assessment of the impact of traumatic events during adolescence: Validation of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised
Keywords:
Adolescent, Confirmatory factor analysis, Validity of tests, ShameAbstract
The purpose of this paper was to validate the Impact of Event Scale-Revised for Portuguese adolescents. The sample was composed of 383 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. Other questionnaires were also used to assess centrality of shame memory and psychopathology symptoms. Alternative factor models of the Impact of Event cale-Revised were tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results showed that the three-factor model with a single second-order factor provided the best fit to the data. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised and its subscales demonstrated good internal consistency and adequate temporal stability and convergent validity with measures of centrality of shame memory and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The Portuguese version of the Impact ofEvent Scale-Revised for adolescents is a valid measure to assess general stress responses and/or emotional trauma
O objetivo do presente estudo foi validar a Impact of Event Scale-Revised em uma amostra de adolescentes portugueses. Esta foi constituída por 383 adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Foram usados outros questionários, que avaliavam a centralidade da memória de vergonha e sintomatologia psicopatológica. Foram testados vários modelos alternativos da estrutura fatorial da Escala do Impacto do Acontecimento através da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória. Os resultados mostraram que o modelo de três fatores com um fator de segunda ordem tem um melhor ajustamento aos dados. A escala e suas subescalas mostraram uma boa consistência interna, adequada estabilidade temporal e validade convergente com medidas de centralidade da memória de vergonha e sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e estresse. A versão portuguesa da Escala do Impacto do Acontecimento para adolescentes é uma medida válida para avaliar respostas gerais de estresse e/ou impacto traumático, em particular de vivências de vergonha.
