Research in psychology has evolved over the decades creating a movement of greater emphasis on the assessment of strengths and positive characteristics, rather than focusing on risk factors and the diagnosis of pathology. The Social-Emotional Assets and Resilience Scale (SEARS) is an instrument for assessing the children’s strengths, resilience and adaptability in daily life, presenting a form completed by teachers. This study presents the factorial structure of the Portuguese version of teacher-report of SEARS and examines its psychometric properties, namely internal consistency and convergent validity, with a sample of 235 children (116 boys and 119 girls) aged between 5 and 10 years (M = 7.51, SD = 1.63). The factorial structure suggested by Merrell et al. (2011) was tested through a Confirmatory Factor Analyzes, with 41 items making up four factors (responsibility, self-competence, self-regulation, and empathy). In general, our findings support a final structure of 40 items divided into four subscales and provides evidence on the psychometric quality of this instrument. Limitations and future research needs are discussed.

学龄前儿童和小学生的社会情感资产的老师报告的心理计量学特性和复原力量表

几十年来，心理学研究不断发展，引起了对力量和积极特征评估的更多关注，而不是关注危险因素和病理学诊断。社会情感资产和复原力量表（SEARS）是一种评估孩子在日常生活中的力量，复原力和适应能力的工具，由教师完成。这项研究提出了葡萄牙语版本的SEARS教师报告的阶乘结构，并研究了其心理计量学特征，即内部一致性和收敛效度，并抽样了235名5至10岁的儿童（116名男孩和119名女孩）（M  = 7.51，标清 = 1.63）。Merrell等人提出的阶乘结构。（2011）通过验证性因素分析进行​​了检验，共有41个项目构成了四个因素（责任感，自我竞争能力，自我调节能力和同理心）。总的来说，我们的发现支持40个项目的最终结构，分为四个子量表，并提供了有关该仪器心理计量质量的证据。局限性和未来的研究需求进行了讨论。
