MATOS, Fabíola R.; ROSSINI, Joaquim Carlos; LOPES, Renata F. F.  and  AMARAL, Jodi Dee H. F. do. Translation, adaptation, and evidence of content validity of the Schema Mode Inventory. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp. 39-59. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v22n2p39-59.

Content validity indicates the extent to which each item of an instrument measures the phenomenon of interest and its dimension within what it proposes to investigate. This research aimed to perform the translation and to raise the validity evidence of the Schema Mode Inventory instrument, thus initiating its cultural adaptation. Eight specialists from the Schema Therapy area participated as evaluators, who answered two instruments: one investigating the Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) and another one the Kappa Concordance Analysis. From the semantic bias, results show that a large part of the instrument measures what it proposes to measure, demonstrating content validity evidence for the Brazilian context (CVC: 0.56 to 0.99; Mean Kappa overall: 0.74).

Keywords : measures; psychometry; Cognitive Therapy; Schema Therapy; Schema Mode Inventory.
