Resumen

El fatalismo social (FS) se define como un esquema de creencias caracterizado por la pasividad, la resignación, la crítica reducida y el escaso control sobre las contingencias de la vida. Ese estudio transversal presenta el proceso de adaptación de la Escala de Fatalismo Social (EFS) y el análisis de sus evidencias de validez para el contexto brasileño. Participaron 213 personas. El instrumento fue adaptado para el contexto brasileño y aplicado junto con la Escala de Locus de Control de Levenson (ELCL). El modelo original de la escala fue probado mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio, el cual mostró índices de ajuste adecuados: CFI = 0,97; TLI = 0,97; RMSEA = 0,07 (IC = 0,05–0,08). Los coeficientes de consistencia interna fueron satisfactorios para la escala total (α = 0,83, ωt = 0,79), y para las dimensiones Predeterminación (α = 0,90, ωt = 0,91) y Presentismo (α = 0,78, ωt = 0,80); fueron moderados en las dimensiones Descontrol (α = 0,68, ωt = 0,70) y Pesimismo (α = 0,54, ωt = 0,66). En cuanto a la evidencia de validez convergente, la EFS mostró correlaciones significativas y positivas con la dimensión del Locus de Control Externo de la ELCL. El uso de la EFS puede contribuir para una evaluación eficaz de la presencia e intensidad del FS en los esquemas cognitivos de procesamiento de la información en la población brasileña.
