Abstract

Objective: To translate a short version of the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales into Portuguese language, adapting this new version transculturally. Method: The scale was initially translated into Portuguese, followed by an inverse translation by an English native, along with the opinion of four experts. This process allowed to conclude a prefinal scale, which was translated back to Portuguese by another Native-speaker American translator and applied into a pilot group of 30 university students from the Medical School of the Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP). Subsequently, they were interviewed and the final version of the scale was elaborated from the data obtained. For the statistical analysis, we used the Spearman correlations and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient to verify the degree of internal consistency of the questions. Results: After completing the whole process and interviews, a scale was obtained with 31 items, Cronbach’s alpha index of 0.192 and a translation that could be understood by both physicians and patients, as indicated by the interviewed. Conclusion: We have a personality emotional evaluation questionnaire based on neural substrates, translated and adapted transculturally into Brazilian Portuguese, characterized as a tool that offers the possibility of connecting human personality to neurobiological functions.
