Cross-cultural Adaptation of the Triple Conflict Scale for the Brazilian Population

Abstract

Workplace conflicts are a topic of interest for those who work in the field of Organizational Psychology. This study aims to perform the cross-cultural adaptation for the Brazilian population of the Scale of Triple Conflict (Task-Focused Cognitive Conflict, Task-Focused Emotional Conflict, and Relationship-Focused Emotional Conflict), as well as the initial tests of construct and criterion validity. The study was conducted with 404 workers of different occupations (64% women). Data were collected both electronically and in person and analyzed by means of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as by correlation with the Work Satisfaction Scale for verifying the predictive validity. The results indicate that the adapted version presents a factorial structure similar to the Norwegian version, maintaining the three dimensions and ten of the 12 original items. The study discusses the results implications and the possibilities of using the scale.
