A sabedoria é concebida como a "arte existencial", uma forma de ser que se revela não tanto na exposição teórica, mas sobretudo na capacidade de conduzir a vida da melhor forma. A incidência experimental, relativa ao estudo da sabedoria, intensificou-se nos últimos anos, dado o interesse declarado dos psicólogos cognitivistas e desenvolvimentistas pelos aspetos positivos do desenvolvimento humano.Neste estudo, apresenta-se a versão para a população portuguesa da Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale - SAWS de Jeffrey Webster (2003). A síntese das propriedades psicométricas, apesar de algumas diferenças em relação ao estudo original, aponta para uma estrutura dimensional consistente. Os resultados sugerem a distinção entre as competências envolvidas na identificação das emoções e aquilo que é a vivência, o controlo e a expressão das próprias emoções. A SAWS apresenta qualidades psicométricas que permitem considerá-la como apta para ser utilizada na população portuguesa.
Wisdom is conceived as the "existential art", a way of being that reveals itself not so much in lecturing, but rather in the ability to carry out life in the best possible way. The experimental focus on the study of wisdom has been intensified in recent years, given the acknowledged interest of cognitive and developmental psychologists about positive aspects of human development. A Portuguese version of the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (Webster, 2003), is presented here. A summary of several psychometric features, despite the fact that the results obtained showed some differences when compared with those from the original psychometric study of the scale, points to a consistent dimensional structure. Global results suggest a distinction between skills involved in identifying emotions and the nature of experience, control and expression of those emotions. In this study, the SAWS presented sound psychometric properties which may find it suitable for experimental use with Portuguese population.
