In an article published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology with Children and Adolescents, the psychometric characteristics of the Portuguese version of the Evidence-Based Practices Attitudes Scale (EBPAS) are studied (Aarons, 2004).
Methodology:
- Sample of 71 Portuguese psychologists (93% women, age M = 37.07, SD = 10.68).
- Online assessment protocol included EBPAS and a questionnaire covering sociodemographic details, therapeutic approaches and professional experience.
Key Findings:
- Favorable attitudes towards EBPs among Portuguese psychologists, surpassing attitudes in other countries.
- Cognitive-Behavioral orientation and fewer years of professional experience were related to more favorable attitudes toward EBPs.
Significance: This research improves our understanding of the factors that influence psychologists’ attitudes toward EBPs, offering insights for more effective dissemination and implementation efforts.
