    Objetivo: Tradução e validação da versão breve do Inventário de Flexibilidade Psicológica Multidimensional (MPFI-24) para a população portuguesa. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 650 participantes, com idades entre os 18 e os 74 anos. Os participantes preencheram um protocolo online composto por um questionário sociodemográfico, o Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory-24 (MPFI-24), a Psy-Flex, o Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) e o Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). Resultados: A análise fatorial confirmatória do MPFI-24 mostrou a plausabilidade do modelo de dois fatores de ordem superior com seis fatores de primeira ordem de Flexibilidade Psicológica (FP) e seis fatores de primeira ordem de Inflexibilidade Psicológica (IP). O MPFI-24 mostrou uma adequada fidedignidade, com valores alfa superiores a 0,70 nos índices globais e em todos os fatores. Revelou ainda uma boa estabilidade temporal. A FP mostrou uma associação positiva com a flexibilidade psicológica, avaliada pela Psy-Flex e com a perceção de saúde mental (MHC-SF) e uma associação negativa com estados emocionais negativos (PHQ-4). A IP revelou o padrão oposto, sendo todas as correlações moderadas e significativas. A idade mostrou uma associação positiva com a FP e negativa com a IP. Não foram encontradas diferenças de género para os dois indicadores globais. Conclusões: O MPFI-24 demonstrou ser um inventário válido e fidedigno para avaliar a FP e IP em adultos da população portuguesa. Este instrumento pode ser utilizado em contexto clínico e de investigação, sendo um contributo relevante na avaliação de intervenções que visam aumentar a flexibilidade psicológica.

    Objective: Translation and validation of the brief version of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI-24) for the Portuguese population. Methods: The sample consisted of 650 participants aged between 18 and 74 years. Participants completed an online protocol consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory-24 (MPFI-24), the Psy-Flex, the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). Results: Confirmatory factor analysis of the MPFI-24 showed the plausibility of the two-factor higher-order model with six first-order Psychological Flexibility (PF) factors and six first-order Psychological Inflexibility (PI) factors. The MPFI-24 showed adequate reliability, with alpha values greater than .70 on the overall indices and on all factors. It also showed good temporal stability. The PF showed a positive association with psychological flexibility, as assessed by Psy-Flex, and with the perception of mental health (MHC-SF) and a negative association with negative emotional states (PHQ-4). PI revealed the opposite pattern, with all correlations being moderate and significant. Age showed a positive association with FP and a negative association with PI. No gender differences were found for the two global indicators. Conclusions: The MPFI-24 proved to be a valid and reliable inventory to assess PF and PI in adults from the Portuguese population. This instrument can be used in clinical and research contexts and can be a relevant contribution to the design of interventions aimed at increasing psychological flexibility.
