To assess them, it is important to build and adapt valid and reliable instruments. The main objectives of this dissertation were to translate, adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Young Parenting Inventory (YPI) for the Brazilian context, as seek associations between the YPI and Familiogram Test (FG). In current study, YPI was adapted to Portuguese by backtranslation method. Content analyses were made by five judges. 920 high school and college students (543 females), whose ages were between 14 and 69 years (M = 21.3, SD = 6.1), filled out the research instruments. Data were collected in Natal, Petrolina and Brasilia cities and Porto Alegre metropolitan region. The results confirmed the existence of five factors. Final version of the YPI was composed by 49 items. Exploratory factorial analysis (principal components) were conducted using oblimin rotation. Five factors extracted explained 45.12% of the maternal scale variance and 47.59% of paternal scale. Each factor explained, at least, 3% of the variance and showed Eigenvalue over than 1.5. All items have factorial loadings values above 0.3. The confirmatory factorial analysis has showed fit statistics reasonably adequate: for maternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 4636.38, p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.16, with GFI = 0.83, AGFI = 0.81 and RMSEA = 0.06; for paternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 5133.69 p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.61, with GFI = 0.81, AGFI = 0.79 and RMSEA = 0,06. Thus, final instrument was composed by the following factors: (I) Disconnection and Rejection (&#61537; = 0.89 and 0.90), (II) Affectivity and Emotional Stability (&#61537; = 0.85 and 0.88); (III) Overvigilance and Other Directedness (&#61537; = 0.83 and 0.85), (IV) Overprotection and Impaired Autonomy (&#61537; = 0.78 and 0.79) and (V) Impaired Limits (&#61537; = 0.66 and 0.71). Finally, relations between the YPI and FG were assessed. Pearson's correlations between the YPI and FG showed moderated associations, particularly between the factors Affectivity (YPI) and Affection (FG) (r = 0.69 and 0.7 for maternal and paternal scale, respectively); and the factors Disconnection and Rejection (YPI) and Conflict (FG) (r = 0.59 and 0.58). The regression models indicated that over than 40% of variance of factors of FG can be predicted by factors of YPI. Beta coefficients for Affection-Affectivity relation were 0.67 (maternal scale) and 0.53 (paternal scale); for Disconnection-Conflict relation were 0.31 (maternal scale) and 0.44 (paternal scale). We conclude the YPI has adequate psychometric parameters and can be used in future research in this area. However, adjustments in the structure of the YPI were made. Moreover, it is suggested further studies to consider other samples and variables, increasing the knowing of parenting styles and the Young&#8223;s theory in the Brazilian context / Os estilos parentais referem-se ?s caracter?sticas globais de intera??es entre pais e filhos. Para sua avalia??o, ? importante que instrumentos v?lidos e fidedignos sejam constru?dos e adaptados. Dentro desta perspectiva, a presente disserta??o teve como objetivo traduzir, adaptar e estudar as propriedades psicom?tricas do Invent?rio de Estilos Parentais de Young (YPI) para o contexto brasileiro. Buscou-se avaliar tamb?m as associa??es entre o YPI e o Teste Familiograma (FG). Nessa pesquisa, o YPI foi adaptado ao portugu?s atrav?s do m?todo de tradu??o reversa (Backtranslation). As an?lises de conte?do foram realizadas por cinco ju?zes. Para realiza??o das an?lises emp?ricas do YPI, contou-se com a participa??o de 920 estudantes do Ensino M?dio e Superior, com idades entre 14 e 69 anos (M = 21,3; DP = 6,1), sendo 543 do sexo feminino (59%). Eles responderam ao YPI, FG e question?rio s?cio-demogr?fico. Os dados foram coletados nas cidades de Natal, Petrolina, Bras?lia e na regi?o metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a exist?ncia de cinco fatores. A vers?o final do YPI foi composta de 49 itens. An?lises fatoriais explorat?rias (Componentes Principais) foram conduzidas, utilizando a rota??o oblimin. Os cinco fatores extra?dos explicaram 45,12% da vari?ncia da escala materna e 47,59% da escala paterna. Cada fator explicou, no m?nimo, 3% da vari?ncia e apresentou Eigenvalue superior a 1,5. Todos os itens apresentaram cargas fatoriais acima de 0,3. As an?lises fatoriais confirmat?rias apresentaram ?ndices de ajuste razoavelmente adequados: para a escala materna, &#61539;? [1114] = 4636,38 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,16, com GFI=0,83, AGFI=0,81 e RMSEA=0,06; para a escala paterna, &#61539;? [1114] =5133,69 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,61, com GFI=0,81, AGFI=0,79 e RMSEA=0,06. Assim, a vers?o final do instrumento foi composta pelos seguintes fatores: (I) Desconex?o e Rejei??o (&#61537;=0,89 e 0,90); (II) Afetividade e Estabilidade Emocional (&#61537;=0,85 e 0,88); (III) Hipervigil?ncia e Orienta??o para o Outro (&#61537;=0,83 e 0,85); (IV) Superprote??o e Autonomia Prejudicada (&#61537;=0,78 e 0,79); e (V) Limites Prejudicados (&#61537;=0,66 e 0,71). Finalmente, as rela??es entre o YPI e o FG foram avaliadas. As correla??es de Pearson entre o YPI e o FG indicaram associa??es moderadas, principalmente, entre os Fatores Afetividade, do YPI e Afeto, do FG (r=0,69 e 0,7, para as escala materna e paterna, respectivamente); bem como entre os Fatores Desconex?o e Rejei??o, do YPI e Conflito, do FG (r=0,59 e 0,58). Os modelos explicativos, das an?lises de regress?o, indicaram que mais de 40% da vari?ncia dos fatores do FG podem ser preditos por fatores do YPI. Os coeficientes Beta para a rela??o Afetividade-Afeto foram de 0,67 (escala materna) e 0,53 (escala paterna); para a rela??o Desconex?o-Conflito foram de 0,31 (escala materna) e 0,44 (escala paterna). Conclui-se que o YPI apresenta par?metros psicom?tricos adequados, podendo ser utilizado em pesquisas futuras nesta ?rea. N?o obstante, ajustes na estrutura do YPI foram realizados. Ademais, sugere-se a realiza??o de novos estudos que considerem tamb?m outras amostras e vari?veis, ampliando a compreens?o dos estilos parentais e da teoria de Young no contexto brasileiro
