Abstract
REZENDE, Hugo Nascimento and BIANCHI, Alessandra Sant´Anna. Brazilian adaptation of the Family Climate Scale for Road Safety. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.223-236. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.17113.
This research has the objective of verifying the evidence of the validity of the Brazilian version of the Family Climate Scale for Road Safety (Taubman-Ben-Ari & Katz-Ben- Ami, 2013), which evaluates the perception of young drivers of their values and priorities and the practices of parents and relatives in relation to safe driving. The participants were 420 university students (63% men) aged between 18 and 22 (mean=19.7 years, SD=1.3 years). Factor analysis indicated a five-factor solution: Communication / Message (α=0.87), Monitoring / Limits (α=0.87), Lack of Commitment to Safety (α=0.70), Modeling (α=0.79) and Feedback (α=0.80). The data show that the Brazilian version of the scale achieved suitable results and can be used in future studies of family environments in relation to driving.
