It is known that this type of research requires the use of validated research instruments in order to ensure its quality and therefore the results obtained after its application in other studies. The analysis of the psychometric properties, reliability and validity of an instrument is critical to ensure that it is calibrated to measure the phenomenon to which it is proposed. Objective: to determine the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the inventory "Parcours des Jeunes Amourex" - Loving Trail Youth - PAJ through construct validation and reliability analysis. Methodology: methodological study which deals with the construct validity and reliability (psychometric analyzes) of the Brazilian version of the PAJ, executed in the period 2013-2015, using a convenience sample of 380 adolescents and young adults in the age groups 14-24 years enrolled in public schools in Feira de Santana, Bahia-Brazil. This research represents the second stage of cultural adaptation process and inventory of content validation, carried out from 2011-2013, which led to the national version (adapted and validated). The original inventory and the national version consist of 64 questions in different formats (dichotomous, open, scales). And reliability analysis was used examining the internal consistency of the questions, by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, considering the satisfactory value> 0.6; the factorability of the questions was evaluated by the test Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO), with appropriate value> 0.5; the construct validity was verified through exploratory factor analysis using the principal component analysis technique, with varimax rotation, using the latent root criterion to define the number of factors to be extracted. Results: The data showed that the adapted version of the PAJ has construct validity of evidence, since the measures proposed construct and has adequate reliability coefficients, confirming the internal consistency of the scale. It can be said then that the inventory showed good psychometric parameters allowing its applicability in national studies that seek to investigate violence among young couples and factors related to family life and friends. Conclusions: This research contributes to the appropriateness and applicability of an inventory that assesses multiple dimensions of loving violence in youth, encouraging new studies, exchange of information between different contexts, and can support public policies and programs that lead to the prevention and cure cycle intergenerational victimization and aggression between present and future generations. / Introdu??o: em n?vel mundial, reconhece-se a import?ncia dos estudos transculturais para estudar fen?menos abrangentes, multifacetados e multicausais, como a viol?ncia interpessoal entre jovens, considerando o impacto dos indicadores dessas pesquisas nas trocas de conhecimentos e a??es voltadas ? preven??o e controle dos fatores de risco e vulnerabilidades. Sabe-se que este tipo de pesquisa requer a utiliza??o de instrumentos de pesquisa validados, a fim de garantir sua qualidade e consequentemente dos resultados obtidos ap?s sua aplica??o em outras pesquisas.A an?lise das propriedades psicom?tricas, confiabilidade e validade de um instrumento ? fundamental para garantir que seja calibrado em medir o fen?meno ao qual est? proposto. Objetivo:realizar avalia??o das propriedades psicom?tricas da vers?o brasileira do invent?rio ?Parcours Amourex des Jeunes? ?Percurso Amoroso dos Jovens - PAJ, atrav?s da valida??o de construto e an?lise de confiabilidade. Metodologia: estudo metodol?gicoque trata da valida??o de construto e de confiabilidade (an?lises psicom?tricas) da vers?o brasileira do PAJ, executado no per?odo 2013 a 2015, utilizando amostra de conveni?ncia de 380 adolescentes e adultos jovens, nas faixas et?rias de 14 a 24 anos, matriculados nas escolas p?blicas de Feira de Santana-Bahia-Brasil. Esta pesquisa representa a segunda etapa do processo de adapta??o transcultural e valida??o de conte?do do inventario, realizado no per?odo de 2011-2013, o qual originou a vers?o nacional (adaptada e validada). O invent?rio original e a vers?o nacional s?o constitu?dos de 64 quest?es em formatos diversos (dicot?micas, abertas, escalas). Para an?lise da confiabilidade foi utilizado o exame da consist?ncia interna das quest?es, atrav?s do c?lculo do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, considerando satisfat?rio o valor >0,6; a fatorabilidade das quest?es foi avaliada pelo teste deKaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO), sendo adequado valor >0,5; a validade de construto foi verificada atrav?s da an?lise fatorial explorat?ria, utilizando a t?cnica de an?lise de componentes principais, com rota??o varimax, sendo utilizado o crit?rio da raiz latente para definir a quantidade de fatores a serem extra?dos. Resultados: os dados mostraram que a vers?o adaptada do PAJ apresenta evid?ncias de validade de construto, visto que mede o construto proposto e possui coeficientes de fidedignidade adequados, confirmando a consist?ncia interna da escala. Pode-se afirmar ent?o, que o invent?rio apresentou bons par?metros psicom?tricos o que permite a sua aplicabilidade em estudos nacionais que buscam investigar viol?ncia entre casais jovens e fatores relacionados ao conv?vio familiar e amigos. Conclus?es: essa pesquisa contribui com a adequa??o e aplicabilidade de um invent?rio que avalia m?ltiplas dimens?es da viol?ncia amorosa na juventude, incentivando novos estudos, trocas de conhecimentos entre diferentes contextos, al?m de poder subsidiar pol?ticas p?blicas e programas que conduzam ? preven??o e supera??odo ciclo intergeracional de vitimiza??o e agress?o entre gera??es presentes e futuras.
