Resumo
A conexão social (CS) percebida é um construto unidimensional conceituado como a avaliação cognitiva de que existe uma relação próxima com os outros, com os quais o contato pode ser feito. Este estudo objetivou adaptar a Escala de Conexão Social (ECS) para o contexto brasileiro, reunindo evidências de adequação psicométrica. Procederam-se dois estudos, o primeiro (N = 285; idade média 24 anos; DP = 4,92; 62% masculino) para obter a estrutura fatorial exploratória e o segundo (N = 300; idade média 23 anos; DP = 5,43; 51% masculino) direcionado a análise confirmatória da unidimensionalidade e dos parâmetros da teoria de resposta ao item. A consistência interna foi satisfatória, assim como as evidências de validade convergente obtidas a partir das correlações negativas com a escala de depressão, ansiedade e estresse. Os resultados revelam que a versão em português da ECS reuniu evidências psicométricas adequadas apoiando seu uso na mensuração da CS.
