Abstract

Objective: To adapt the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ) for the Brazilian context and present evidence of validity based on its internal structure.

Methods: A total of 2,682 Brazilian adults from different regions of the country took part in this study. Confirmatory factor analyses and multigroup confirmatory factor analyses (MGCFA) were performed to assess the factor structure of the MWQ. McDonald's omega (ω) was generated to provide reliability indexes.

Results: The analyses demonstrated an adequate factor structure for the MWQ adapted to the Brazilian context, corroborating the original article's single-factor model and other adaptation studies. Furthermore, the results demonstrated the instrument's reliability in a Brazilian population (ω = 0.88).

Conclusion: The MWQ is thus an adequate, reliable, and quickly administered instrument for those whose aim is to measure deliberate and spontaneous MW in Brazil.

巴西葡萄牙语走神问卷的跨文化适应与效度证据。

目的:本研究的目的是根据思维漫游问卷(MWQ)的内部结构为巴西语境调整和提供效度证据。方法:来自巴西不同地区的2682名巴西成年人参与了这项研究。采用验证性因子分析和多组验证性因子分析(MGCFA)评估MWQ因子结构。生成麦当劳的Omega (ω)来提供可靠性指标。结果:在巴西的背景下，MWQ的因子结构被证明是适当的，证实了原文的单因素模型和其他适应研究。此外，结果证明了该仪器对巴西人口的可靠性(ω=0.88)。结论:MWQ因此是一个足够的，可靠的，快速适用的仪器，为那些目的是测量蓄意和自发MW在巴西。
