Factorial Structure of the Frugality Scale: Exploratory Evidence

Abstract: This article aims to promote an investigation of the psychometric properties of Frugality Scale adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Frugality is characterized by using and consuming goods in a resourceful way, fully exploring its durability as well. To this end, 626 people responded to an online form that contained the frugality scale. Procedures such as non-graphical solutions to the scree plot, exploratory graphical analysis and a Schmid-Leiman factor solution point to evidence that the scale's structure is not… Show more

“…Certain traits, such as the feeling of well-being, relaxation, and increased happiness when in contact with nature, as well as the feeling of discomfort when perceiving the destruction of the environment [22], interact with the risk perception of climate change represented by the perception of human impact-especially that of future generations-as well as immediate action when facing already-identified threats. Together, these factors are the best predictors of actions related to responsible and regulated consumption [50] or protection of native fauna and flora [41]. This evidence is important when it comes to guaranteeing actions that lead both to the satisfaction of the common needs of the human species [51] and to the protection of the resource-providing ecosystems that fulfill these needs [29,30].…”

“…Frugality is understood as a measured consumption behavior, which implies the efficient use of natural resources with the avoidance of waste and clever use of goods [42,[45][46][47][48]. In this respect, some authors, such as Bhatti [49] and Pires and collaborators [50], highlight the need to promote the use of resources in a responsible and ingenious way, as well as their ecological value for the future in the short and long term.…”
