This text reports the adaptation and psychometric characteristics of psychological harassment measures: the frequency perception and the affective impact harassment scales. The instruments -self-applicable- had identical items, but were answered in different scales; one referring to the harassment perception and the other, to the affective impact caused by the phenomenon. 216 workers participated, who occupy diverse positions, like administrative support activities, health assistance, general services, people servicing and reception, military officers, sales and teachers. They were between 17 and 61 years-old, and 65% was female. Factorial analysis results revealed two Harassment Perception Scale factors, but only one of them was revealed in the Harassment Affective Impact Scale. Satisfactory internal consistency indicators pointed out that all the items contributed to improve scales reliability. The structure found differed from that related in literature, and such results are the basis of results discussion.
