Resumo (PT): The Uncertainty Response Scale--Portuguese Version (Casanova et al., 2019) is a 25-item Portuguese adaptation of the Uncertainty Response Scale (URS; Greco & Roger, 2001)–an English-language assessment of individual differences in coping strategies for uncertainty and the extent to which uncertainty is perceived as stress inducing. For the initial adaptation of the URS's 48 items, Casanova, Pacheco, and Coimbra (2010) contemplated linguistic and cultural differences, not only translating but adapting meanings and idiomatic expressions to Portuguese, respecting the contents of the items and its equivalency to assure ecological validity (Casanova, 2010; Casanova, Pacheco & Coimbra, 2010; Casanova & Coimbra, 2011). Following expert consultation and review (facial validity), the instrument was administered to a non-clinical community sample composed of students and professionals residing in Portugal, with all participants randomly divided into three subsamples to allow for a more thorough psychometric evaluation. Findings concerning the factor structure, reliability, validity, and measurement invariance for the reduced, final 25 items were reported. Limitations and future research recommendations were also discussed. (PsycTests Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
