Abstract

Career adaptability is a theme widely studied in the area of career for its practical and theoretical relevance. The aim of this study was to test a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) with a sample of adolescents, and including an additional dimension called cooperation. A total of 592 adolescents participated (303 female) from private (n=275) and public schools (n=317), in Porto Alegre. The adolescents were between 13 and 18 years old (M=16,02 e SD=1,08). In the first random subsample (n=296), an exploratory factor analysis was conducted and resulted in a five-factor solution. Afterwards, with the remainder of the sample, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed, ratifying the five-dimension model. The results indicate that the instrument tested has a dimensional structure compatible with the theoretical model adopted and acceptable psychometric properties, in addition to having the cooperation dimension added.
