Abstract

FORMIGA, Nilton S; BONATO, Taís Nicoletti  and  SARRIERA, Jorge Castellá. Scale of the habits of leisure activities: structural equation modeling in three cities in Brazil. Temas psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.2, pp.405-415. ISSN 1413-389X.

This study aimed to evaluate the structure of scale of the habits of leisure activities from more robust psychometrics indicators. For that, a Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (AFC) and an analysis of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) from AMOS GRAFICS (version 7.0) were made. Three samples from different cities of the Brazilian participated in the study; in all of the studies, the scale of the habits of leisure activities was applied to young male and female students, from middle school up to high school, aged between 13 and 21 years old. The application of the instrument was collective, in classrooms, with the permission of the school board and teachers. It was observed that the scale showed the three factors (Hedonistic habits, playful and instructive) already found in the exploratory study, showing a rather more robust and reliable psychometric criteria, capable of ensuring the consistency and internal structure of the scale in the three samples.
