This study focuses on 606 Brazilian women's cultural models regarding their relation with their family, as evaluated by the Family Allocentrism Idiocentrism Scale (FAS). The scale was translated into Portuguese, submitted to back-translation and adapted. Analyses of the scale's structure indicated that the best fit model involves two independent factors. Univariate GLM (General Linear Model) analyses showed that the place where mothers were raised presented a significant effect on their scores on factor 1 (normative familial allocentrism). Mothers raised on rural areas have higher scores on this factor, than the ones raised on urban areas. The opposite occurred with factor 2 (relational familial allocentrism). The set of evidences indicate that the FAS may be a bi-dimensional measure. One dimension would be part of a more stable and basic model of relation to family, constructed during development. The second dimension would be related to more recent experiences and would be more readily affected by socio-cultural context changes, including in acculturation processes.
本研究关注 606 名巴西女性的文化模式及其与家庭的关系，使用家庭向心性-个人中心量表（FAS）进行评估。该量表被译为葡萄牙语，经过回译和调整。对量表结构的分析表明，最佳拟合模型涉及两个独立的因素。单变量广义线性模型（GLM）分析表明，母亲成长的地方对其在因子 1（规范性家庭向心性）上的得分有显著影响。在农村地区长大的母亲在这个因子上的得分高于在城市地区长大的母亲。因子 2（关系性家庭向心性）则相反。这组证据表明，FAS 可能是一个二维的衡量标准。一个维度可能是发展过程中构建的、与家庭关系更稳定和基本的模型的一部分。第二个维度可能与最近的经历有关，更容易受到社会文化背景变化的影响，包括文化适应过程。
