Escala fatorial de socialização: versão reduzida: seleção de itens e propriedades psicométricas

O objetivo desse estudo foi selecionar itens da Escala Fatorial de Socializacao (EFS) para a obtencao de uma versao reduzida, que mantivesse propriedades psicometricas adequadas. Baseou-se em uma amostra de 1.100 sujeitos. Para a selecao de itens, realizou-se analise qualitativa, buscando aqueles sem conteudo clinico explicito e uma analise quantitativa, pelo modelo de Rasch. Tais criterios permitiram reduzir a EFS de 70 para 28 itens. As caracteristicas psicometricas da versao reduzida foram verificadas pela comparacao entre versoes por Rasch e pela reanalise dos dados de estudos de validade realizados com a EFS.

Comparação entre dois sistemas de pontuação para o teste informatizado de percepção de emoções em fotos

The main aim of this study was to compare two rating systems relating to the responses of individuals in the Computerized Emotional Perception Test using Photographs: consensus agreement and agreement with criteria defined by experts based on emotional intelligence theory and Item Response Theory. Participants comprised 55 subjects of both sexes, aged between 18 and 74, whose protocols were rated by both rating methods. Although a high correlation between the two rating methods was observed, the expert agreement criteria yielded significantly higher item-total correlations than consensus agreement. The results suggest that the development of evaluation tools for emotional intelligence related skills should be based primarily on expert agreement criteria, and shows how the Item Response Theory should be helpful in this process of investigation and selection of criteria.
