Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the factorial structure, internal consistency and the convergent validity of the Young-Rygh Avoidance Inventory (YRAI). 504 adults from the general population participated, with a average age of 34.2 years (SD = 12.9), who completed the Young Scheme Questionnaire (YSQ-S3), the Symptom Assessment Scale (SCL-90- R) and YRAI, through an online platform. It was made an exploratory factor analysis to verify the distribution of items in common factors and convergent analysis with Spearman's non-parametric correlation to verify associations with psychopathological symptoms (SCL-90-R) and schemes (YSQ-S3). Three factors were found: Somatization and Search for Stimulation (α=0,84), Cognitive Avoidance (α=0,78) and Emotional Withdrawal (α=0,62), with an omega value between 0,75 and 0,87. It was concluded that the Brazilian version of YRAI has appropriate psychometric properties, being valid for the Brazilian population. In addition, the interpretation of the construct validity was consistent with the theory.
