Abstract

Evaluate the psychometric properties of the LOT-R through the validation procedure. The LOT-R was translated and adapted for use in the Brazilian context and its psychometric properties were analyzed (reliability, average variance extracted and validity and factorial). The sample was non-probabilistic and intentional and consisted of 769 adults, Brazilians, over 18 years old, of both sexes. A model with adequate fit indices was found: [X²/gl = 1.082; GFI = 0.998; CFI = 1; RMSEA = 0.001] . The study found good psychometric properties for the LOT-R, so its use in the Brazilian context is recommended.
