Critical thinking is a kind of "good" thinking that integrates a set of cognitive skills and dispositions to use those skills with knowledge to increase the chances of success in academic settings, job market, and daily life. The impact of critical thinking on life events, in face of everyday decisions and challenges, is still unclear, and further research is needed. In this exploratory study, a sample of 230 first-year students of a Bachelor's Degree or a Master's Degree in Portugal completed an experimental Portuguese version of the , a self-report inventory measuring everyday negative life events that are mediated by a lack of critical thinking. Based on exploratory factor analysis results and theoretical premises, changes were made to the Portuguese version of the inventory that was administered, and items were aggregated into six dimensions, creating a new version that is more familiar to Portuguese young adults in college. This original proposal of the inventory presents six types of negative life events resulting from a lack of critical thinking: health neglect, mismanagement, slackness, poor impulse control, academic negligence, and rashness. Both limitations and future potentialities of this version are presented.
批判性思维是一种“良好”的思维方式，它整合了一系列认知技能和倾向，以便将这些技能与知识相结合，从而增加在学术环境、就业市场和日常生活中取得成功的机会。面对日常决策和挑战时，批判性思维对生活事件的影响仍不明确，需要进一步研究。在这项探索性研究中，葡萄牙230名本科或硕士一年级学生的样本完成了一份葡萄牙语实验版的[具体量表名称未给出]，这是一份自我报告量表，用于测量因缺乏批判性思维而介导的日常负面生活事件。基于探索性因素分析结果和理论前提，对所使用的量表的葡萄牙语版本进行了修改，并将项目汇总为六个维度，创建了一个葡萄牙大学生更熟悉的新版本。该量表的原始提案提出了因缺乏批判性思维而导致的六种负面生活事件类型：健康忽视、管理不善、懈怠、冲动控制不佳、学业疏忽和鲁莽。本文还介绍了该版本的局限性和未来潜力。
