Abstract

O presente artigo objetiva descrever os procedimentos de adaptação e evidências iniciais de validade do Childbearing Motivation Questionnaire (CBQ) para o Brasil. O CBQ está constituído por duas escalas: a primeira avalia as motivações positivas para ter filhos (PCM) e a segunda, as motivações negativas (NCM). A adaptação foi realizada em cinco etapas: 1) tradução do instrumento; 2) síntese das versões traduzidas; 3) avaliação por juízes experts; 4) avaliação pelo público-alvo e 5) tradução reversa. Para a avaliação da estrutura fatorial realizou-se análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias em uma amostra de 1894 brasileiros de 18 a 68 anos de 25 estados do Brasil. A escala PCM apresentou uma solução fatorial de segunda ordem similar à proposta pelo autor enquanto a NCM apresentou uma estrutura unifatorial com boas propriedades psicométricas. Os resultados mostram o CBQ como um instrumento válido para a mensuração das motivações para ter filhos na população brasileira.
