In the second stage, 292 students from Minas Gerais public and private schools participated, being 61.6% male, with an average age of 15.7 years. The results confirmed the factorial structure of the scale with adequate precision indexes. In addition, evidence of validity in relation to other variables is presented using the Parental Responsibility and Demand Scale.
