Abstract

Causal attributions, achievement goals, and self-efficacy comprise the motivational dimension of self-regulated learning. Due to the absence of scales to assess the causal attributions of Brazilian middle school students, this study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Causal Attributions Scale for Reading Comprehension. The study involved three samples: one of the expert judges and two composed of students. Evidence of content validity was found through theoretical and practical representativeness and the intelligibility of the scale items. The associations between the attributional causes and psychological dimensions proved validity based on the scale’s internal structure. The effects identified in the comparisons between the scale and achievement goals, and the scale and selfefficacy indicated validity based on the relationship with other variables. This instrument can be recommended for use by professionals in psychology and education. We also suggest the performance of further studies with the scale.

阅读理解因果归因量表的心理测量特性

因果归因、成就目标和自我效能感构成了自我调节学习的动机维度。由于缺乏评估巴西中学生因果归因的量表，本研究旨在探讨阅读理解因果归因量表的心理测量特征。这项研究涉及三个样本:一个是专家评委，两个是学生。通过量表项目的理论和实践代表性和可理解性来寻找内容效度的证据。归因原因与心理维度之间的关联基于量表的内部结构被证明是有效的。在量表与成就目标、量表与自我效能感的比较中发现的效果表明，量表与其他变量的关系是有效的。该仪器可推荐心理学和教育专业人员使用。我们还建议进一步研究的性能与量表。
