The aim of this study is to adapt the multidimensional in-group identification scale (MGIS) to the Brazilian context by gathering evidence of its psychometric properties. A total of 663 people from two samples participated in the study. In sample 1, we measured the identification of Brazilians with the region of the country where they live. In sample 2, we measured the identification of students with the university which they attend. Confirmatory factor analyses were performed on both samples to compare the models previously proposed by the original authors of the measure. The obtained results confirmed the validity of the hierarchical and multidimensional factor structure proposed by the original authors. The scale proposed here can be used to measure multiple dimensions of in-group identification in Brazil.

组内识别的分层（多组件）模型：适应巴西环境的措施

这项研究的目的是通过收集其心理计量学特征的证据，使多维群体内认同量表（MGIS）适应巴西的情况。来自两个样本的总共663人参加了该研究。在样本1中，我们测量了巴西人与他们居住国家/地区之间的认同感。在样本2中，我们测量了学生对所就读大学的认同感。对两个样本均进行了验证性因素分析，以比较该方法的原始作者先前提出的模型。获得的结果证实了原作者提出的分层和多维因素结构的有效性。此处提出的量表可用于测量巴西团体识别的多个维度。
