“…In this study, the Cantril Ladder was chosen in preference to more in-depth tools such as the WHO-QoL, because it is simple, accessible to non-educated people and helps to discuss rather than measure wellbeing. The Cantril Ladder has been used before by, amongst others, Regensteiner et al (2008), Bailey et al (2009) and Helliwell et al (2013).…”

“…O cotidiano do ser humano é repleto de interações sociais, sendo isso um aspecto essencial para o bem-estar (Helliwel, Huang, & Wang, 2014) e saúde mental (Poortinga, 2012) das pessoas.

ResumoA necessidade de pertença representa uma motivação do ser humano para estabelecer relacionamentos intensos e duradouros, sendo isso um importante aspecto para a manutenção do bem-estar e saúde mental destes. Considerando a relevância desse construto, busca-se validar a escala de Necessidade de Pertença (ENP) para o contexto brasileiro em três estudos (N = 642). O primeiro e segundo estudos objetivaram apresentar a estrutura fatorial da presente medida por meio de análise fatorial exploratória e confirmatória, os quais confirmaram a solução unifatorial esperada (CFI = 0,96) com a eliminação de três itens da versão original. Já o terceiro estudo buscou apresentar evidências de validade convergente da ENP, tendo confirmado a significativa associação desse construto com medidas de natureza similar (e.g., solidão emocional). Conclui-se que os objetivos foram alcançados e que a medida apresenta-se psicometricamente adequada para uso no Brasil. Palavras-chave: necessidade de pertença, medida, validação Need to Belong Scale: Evidences of Psychometric Quality AbstractThe need to belong represents a motivation of the human being to establish intense and long-term relationships, and it is an important aspect for the maintenance of people's well-being and mental health. Considering the relevance of this construct, we sought to validate the Need to Belong Scale (NBS) for the Brazilian context in three studies (N = 642). The first and second studies aimed to present the factorial structure of this measure through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the expected single-factor solution (CFI = 0.96) with the elimination of three items from the original version. The third study sought to present evidence of convergent validity of the NBS, confirming the significant association of this construct with measures of a similar nature (e. g., emotional loneliness). In conclusion, this measure showed to be psychometrically adequate for use in Brazil.

“…It also helps to manage situations of poverty and social exclusion and, because it provides information about new working possibilities, it enhances promotion prospects. From the social point of view, social capital also seems to play a very important role in promoting economic development (Grootaert and van Bastelaer, 2001) and helping to cope with crisis (Helliwell et al, 2014). 4 Theoretical models help to explain the reason why: social capital should not only reduce transaction costs, it would also raise the productivity of public investment in education and health, and lower fiscal fraud (Bowles and Gintis, 2002).…”
