The transtheoretical conceptualization of the working alliance and the resultant evaluation tools often overestimate the collaboration between therapist and client, while neglecting the negotiation process. The degree to which therapists and clients can negotiate disagreements regarding goals and tasks is an important indicator in establishing and maintaining the alliance. Even though the negotiation concept is not new, there is still a lack of reliable and parsimonious self-report measures of the construct. The purpose of this study was to translate, execute the cultural adaptation and, also, to perform a preliminary psychometric analysis of the Portuguese form of the therapist version of the Alliance Negotiation Scale (ANS-T_Pt).
Data were collected online from 100 Portuguese psychologists. Two random sub-samples were used to conduct both exploratory factorial analysis and confirmatory factorial analysis. Convergent validity was assessed through comparison with the Portuguese version of the Working Alliance Inventory.
The ANS-T_Pt showed a one-factorial structure, consistent with previous versions, and demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Evidence supporting criterion-related validity was found based on the correlations between ANS-T_Pt and WAI-T scores. The results showed moderate to large associations between the instruments. These results support the usefulness of the scale, construct's relevance and its transtheoretical nature.
These results are a step forward for Portuguese therapists' and researchers' ability to evaluate the bond between client and therapist and to compare results from different countries.
工作联盟的跨理论概念化及其衍生的评估工具常常高估了治疗师与来访者之间的合作，却忽视了协商过程。治疗师与来访者就目标和任务协商分歧的程度是建立和维持联盟的一项重要指标。尽管协商概念并不新颖，但对于这一概念仍缺乏可靠且简洁的自我报告测量方法。本研究的目的是对联盟协商量表治疗师版的葡萄牙语版本（ANS-T_Pt）进行翻译、文化调适，并开展初步的心理测量分析。
从100名葡萄牙心理学家那里在线收集数据。使用两个随机子样本进行探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析。通过与工作联盟问卷的葡萄牙语版本进行比较来评估收敛效度。
ANS-T_Pt呈现出单因素结构，与先前版本一致，并显示出足够的内部一致性。基于ANS-T_Pt与WAI-T分数之间的相关性，发现了支持效标关联效度的证据。结果显示这些工具之间存在中度到高度的关联。这些结果支持了该量表的实用性、概念的相关性及其跨理论性质。
这些结果对于葡萄牙治疗师和研究人员评估来访者与治疗师之间的关系以及比较不同国家的结果的能力而言是向前迈进的一步。
