    El instrumento Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) ha sido desarrollado con el fin de medir y analizar la autoeficacia de la población adulta en el contexto del uso de la computadora. Surge en un contexto en que muchos autores se han interesado en el estudio de la auto-eficacia y que consideraba que éste tenía una fuerte influencia en el desempeño de las tareas que se requerían el uso de las computadoras.

    El presente estudio preliminar tiene como objetivo adaptar y validar el instrumento Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) para la población portuguesa, específicamente en la población jubilada que utiliza el ordenador.

    Los resultados indican que esta escala tiene una alta consistencia interna y tiene normas aceptables que ofrecen fiabilidad y validez. También se encontró que la autoeficacia se correlaciona estadísticamente positiva y moderadamente con experiencia anterior con el uso de computadoras. Los resultados indican que el instrumento Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) es válido para el estudio y análisis de la efectividad de la libre utilización de las computadoras en las personas portuguesas que están jubilados y que utilizan el ordenador.

    The instrument Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) was developed in order to measure and analyze the self-efficacy of the adult population in the context of computer use. Arises in a context where many authors were interested in the study of self-efficacy and who considered that this had a strong influence on the performance of tasks that were required the use of computers.

    The present preliminary study aims to adapt and to validate the instrument Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) for the Portuguese population, specifically in the retired population who uses the computer.

    The results indicate that this scale has a high internal consistency and acceptable standards featuring reliability and validity. It was also found that self-efficacy is positively correlated with moderate and statistically previous experience with using computers. The results indicate that the instrument Computer User Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSE; Cassidy & Eachus, 2002) is valid for the study and analysis of the effectiveness of self-use of computers in Portuguese people who are retired and who use computer.
