| Resumo: | The growth of longevity and aging increase the likelihood of adult children provide care to their aging parents. However, adult children may exhibit an anticipatory worry about their proficiency to provide care to their parents as well as about parents’ well-being. Cicirelli (1988) labeled this worry as filial anxiety and developed the Filial Anxiety Scale to measure it. The aim of the current study is to describe the translation process and validation of the European Portuguese version of the Escala de Ansiedade Filial (EAF; Cicirelli, 1998), by reporting the EAF main psychometric properties in a sample of 130 Portuguese middle-aged adult children. By demonstrating the satisfactory psychometric properties of the EAF, the results suggest the EAF as a valid instrument to measure the filial anxiety. |
