Abstract
This research aimed to adapt and assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Reno Inventory of Self-Perspective (RISP), which aims to measure fusion with self-content, the ability to take a centered self-perspective, and verbal awareness of the transcendent nature of that perspective, using three factors: Entangled, Centered and Transcendent. The sample consisted of 344 Brazilian undergraduate students (age 21.1±4.8; 64.2% women). The dimensionality of the inventory was estimated by the Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM). The invariance of the factorial model between men and women, scale reliability and association with other variables: life satisfaction, cognitive fusion, anxiety, stress and depression were estimated as well. The results showed a three-factor structure, confirming the theoretical hypothesis with desirable precision indices. It was also observed the measurement model equivalence to assess participants of both sexes. The results suggest adequacy of the Brazilian version of the RISP.
