The behavioral inhibition/behavioral activation (BIS/BAS) scales (Carver & White, 1994), which allow rating
the Gray’s motivational systems, were translated and adapted into Portuguese. In this study, the authors
present the procedure and the psychometric analyses of the Portuguese version of the scales, which included
basic item and scales psychometric characteristics, as well as confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses.
After the psychometric analyses provided evidence for the quality of the Portuguese version of the scales, the
normative data was provided by age and school grade. The confirmatory factor analysis of the BIS/BAS scales
that the authors performed did not demonstrate satisfactory fit for the 2- or 4-factor solution. The authors also
tested the more recent 5-factor model, but the fit indices remained inadequate. As fit indices were not
satisfactory they proceeded with an exploratory factor analysis to examine the structure of the Portuguese
scales. These psychometric analyses provided evidence of a successful translation of the original scales.
Therefore these scales can now be used in future research with Portuguese or Brazilian population. [-]
