An exploratory factor analysis done by the extraction method of minimum rank factor analysis, using polychoric correlation matrix and parallel analysis criterion for factor retention, indicated a one-factor solution as the best fi t to the data. The items showed adequate factor loadings and the retained factor explained 67% of common scores variance, presenting internal consistency ( = .80). This study provides validity evidences of the PSS-10 for the Brazilian context. 2014-03-01T00:00:00Z
