Introduction Failures in regret anticipation undermine regret
avoidance, increasing regret frequency and ultimately the risk of
regret-related problems. The Regret Anticipation Failures Scale
(RAFS; Schmidt and Linden, 2011) was developed to evaluate
interindividual differences in regret anticipation.
Objective To investigate the psychometric properties of the RAFS
Portuguese version.
Methods A community sample composed of 108 uni-
versity students and 79 employees (78.1% females; mean
age = 33.16 ± 13.175; range: 17–62) answered the Portuguese
preliminary version of the RAFS. To study the temporal stability, 31
participants (83.9% females; mean age = 26.54 ±18.761) answered
the RAFS again after approximately 6 weeks.
Results The RAFS Cronbach alpha was “very good” (a = 0.81). All
the items presented significant correlations with the total (exclud-
ing the item; > 0.20); only item 2 (Even when I’m stressed, I can
foresee the regrets that certain behaviors could evoke in me) had
the effect of lowering the internal consistency if deleted. The test-
retest correlation coefficient was high, positive and significant
(0.61; P< 0.001); there was not significant difference between test
and re-test scores [14.26 ±5.170 vs. 13.06 ± 4.761, t (30) = 1.532,
P = 0.136]. Following Kaiser and Cattel Scree Plot criteria, only one
factor was extracted, meaning that the scale is unidimensional.
Conclusions The Portuguese version of RAFS has good reliability
and construct validity. It could be very useful both in clinical and
research contexts, namely in an ongoing project on the relationship
between regret, personality and psychological distress.

Introduction The Depressive Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21;
Antony et al., 1998) had beenwidely used tomeasure psychological
distress among clinical and non-clinical populations, including in
Portugal (Pais-Ribeiro et al., 2004). AlthoughDASS-21 has been con-
sidered useful to evaluate psychological distress in the perinatal
period, studies reporting on its psychometrics are scarce (Brunton
et al., 2015).
Objective To investigate the psychometric properties of the
DASS-21 in a Portuguese sample of pregnant women.
Methods Four hundred and twenty-seven pregnant women
(mean age: 32.56 ±4.785 years) in their second trimester of
pregnancy (17.34 ±4.790 weeks of gestation) completed the
Portuguese versions of DASS-21 and of Postpartum Depression
Screening Scale (PDSS-24; Pereira et al., 2013).
Results The DASS-21 Cronbach’s alpha was “very good” (a = 0.92).
Following the Kaiser and the Cattel Scree Plot criteria, two facto-
rial structures were explored. Three factors structure (explained
variance/EV = 57.18%): F1-stress (included 8 items; = 0.89); F2-
Anxiety (7 items; = 0.79); F3-Depression (6 items; = 0.82). In
the two factors structure (EV = 50.96), the Stress and Anxiety items
load in the same factor (F1: 15 items; = 0.91) and the F2 is com-
posed of the Depression items (F2: 6 items; = 0.82). Pearson
correlations between DASS-21 total and dimensional scores and
the PDSS-24 scores were all significant, positive and moderate to
high (@.50).
Conclusions The Portuguese version of DASS-21 has good reli-
ability, construct and concurrent validity when used with pregnant
women. Its factorial structure significantly overlaps with the orig-
inal, with only one item loading in another factor. DASS-21 could
be very useful in diverse settings in the perinatal period.

Introduction Regret is defined as an aversive negative emotion
associated to specific cognitive contents, felt whenwe consider that
our current situation could be better, if we had taken a different
decision (Zeelenberg and Pieters 1997). Regret Scale/RS corre-
sponds to the regret-trait dimension of Regret and Maximization
Scale developed by Schwartz et al. (2002).
Objective To investigate the psychometric properties of the RS
Portuguese version.
Methods A community sample composed of 108 uni-
versity students and 79 employees (78.1% females; mean
age = 33.16 ±13.175; range: 17-62) answered the Portuguese
preliminary versions of the RS and Bedtime Counterfactual
Processing Questionnaire (BCPQ) and also the Profile of Mood
States to evaluate Negative Affect/NA. To study the temporal sta-
bility, 31 participants (83.9% females; mean age = 26.54 ±18.761)
answered the RAFS again after 6 weeks.
Results The EA Cronbach alpha was “very good” (a = 0.72). All the
items contributed to the internal consistency. The test-retest corre-
lation coefficient was high, positive and significant (0.72; P< 0.001).
Following Kaiser and Cattel Scree Plot criteria, only one factor
was extracted, meaning that the scale is unidimensional. Pearson
correlations of EA and BCPQ2 and NA were significant and high
(r@.50).
