Abstract

A common practice in the field of social anxiety assessment in Portugueseand Spanish-speaking countries is the use of instruments, developed in English-speakingcountries, without prior adaptation to the country of application. Recently, it has beenempirically developed the new Social Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults (SAQ) with social situations from Ibero America, Spain, and Portugal. This article presents the psychometric properties of the SAQ, applied to a sample of 2,422 Brazilians. The results showthat the questionnaire maintains its five-factor original structure, with its 30 items loading above 0.40 in each of the five factors. The reliability and internal consistency arehigh. Differences associated with gender were found, showing that women scored higher than men in three out of the five factors and in global social anxiety. These dataindicate that the SAQ is a reliable and valid measure for use in Brazil.
