“…Many adults' attributions on children's worlds may be wrong. Even our social representations of children and adolescents, shared by the majority of people, may be wrong (Casas et al 2013a ). This happens simply because we never went to ask representative samples of children what do they really think.…”

“…The addition of an item about having fun in the neighborhood was previously recommended by Chipuer and Pretty (1999), from previous studies made by them. The inclusion of these two items considered the importance of the ecological validity (Chipuer & Pretty, 1999), seeking to cover aspects that would be present in the reality of the children and that would be important to them (Casas et al, 2014;Pollard & Lee, 2003). Therefore, the inclusion of these items would be important features of the Brazilian situation.…”

“…Considering that the investigation of sense of community is one of the important psychosocial aspects in the evaluation of well-being and social participation in childhood (Casas, González, & Navarro, 2014), it is necessary to have instruments to evaluate this aspect in children. Therefore this study aims to adapt the Sense of Community Index for Brazilian children and verify its psychometric properties in this sample.…”

The sense of community is an important construct for assessing the individual’s relationship with his/her community context. This study aims to adapt the Sense of Community Index for Brazilian Children and verify its psychometric properties in this sample. The participants are 1,736 Brazilian children between 8 and 13 years old (53.3% girls). Exploratory factor analysis indicated a two-factor solution (Positive bond with community and Community neighbors’ relationships), with 47.9% of explained variance. Scale reliability was adequate (Cronbach’s α = .78) and confirmatory factor analysis presented good fit indices (CFA > .95 and RMSEA < .05). Multigroup analysis indicated that the items have the same meanings regarding sex and age, and that the latent factors means are comparable regarding sex, but not for age. The proposed model of the instrument is adequate and can be used in future studies with Brazilian children.

“…The inclusion of children's "SWB" as reported by children and adolescents themselves therefore is recent. This includes both psychological dimensions (such as internal factors, according to Keyes, 2006) and psychosocial dimensions (such as relational factors, according to Casas, Gonz alez, & Navarro, 2014).…”
