BERNARDO, Rui Paulo Santos  e  MATOS, Margarida Gaspar de. Adaptação Portuguesa do Physical Self Perception Profile for Children and Yout e do Perceived Importance Profile for Children and Youth. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2003, vol.21, n.2, pp.127-144. ISSN 0870-8231.

The purpose of the present study was to adapt for Portugal the Physical Self-Perception Profile for Children and Youth - PSPP-CY and the Perception Importance Profile for Children and Youth - PIP-CY (Whitehead, 1995). The Portuguese version of the instruments (Perfil de Auto-Percepção Corporal para Crianças e Jovens - PAPC-CJ) and Perfil de Importância Percebida para Crianças e Jovens - PIP-CJ) was applied to a sample of 625 students (girls, n = 315; boys, n = 310), aged from 11 to 19 (M = 14.38 and DP = 1.46), belonging to different schools from the Algarve. The internal consistency and the validity of the PAPC-CJ have been satisfactorily tested, replying consistently the original structure presented by Whitehead (1995). The analysis done has reproduced the hierarchical structure of the model proposed by Fox (1990) and by Fox and Corbin (1989). The instrument has revealed itself to be valid to measure the physical self-perceptions of Portuguese youngsters. In what concerns the PIP-CJ, contrarily to the girl's results, the results obtained with the boys didn't show a differenced factorial structure, which leads us to think that the instrument remains somehow enigmatic, according to what Whithead (1995) had concluded. Further investigation is needed to confirm the results presented in this study. Further work should be done with other groups in order to, firstly, extend the validity of the PAPC-CJ to other Portuguese populations and, secondly, to clarify the role of the perceived importance perceptions, especially among male adolescents.
