This research was conducted with a sample exceeding initial study (3434 participants, 1066 women, 31%, and, 2356 are men, 68.6%). Sampling was multistage, stratified cluster. Through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are estimated psychometric properties that are not listed in the initial work (composite reliability, average variance extracted, convergent and discriminant validity). The results confirm those found initially, reaching all fit indices optimally, allowing say that this tool is appropriate, optimal and parsimonious.
