The Influence of Social Cyberloafing on Mental Health: Translation and Transcultural Adaptation of an Instrument
Abstract
The present study consists of the translation and transcultural adaptation of a research instrument composed of the Social Cyberloafing, Recovery Experience, Fatigue, Recovery-Related Self-Efficacy, and General Well-Being scales to the Portuguese of Brazil. For achieving this aim, we strictly applied the steps set by Beaton et al. (2000), which consist of six stages: translation, synthesis, retranslation, committee of experts, pre-test, and submission to the evaluation committee. The study was applied in 16 participants, university professors at a federal Brazilian university. Results indicate that the translation and transcultural adaptation occurred in an efficient way and did not have methodological, linguistic, or reliability inconsistency according to the tests performed, being adequate for future studies in the area. However, later validation of the instrument is needed.
