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).
