Career Adapt-Abilities Scale—Portugal Higher Education form
The CAAS-International Form (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) is comprised of 24 items which combine to form a total score that indicates career adaptability. These 24 items are divided into four subscales of 6 items. Participants responded to each item employing a scale from 1 (not strong) to 5 (strongest). The CAAS—Portugal HE Form, presented in this paper derived from the CAAS—Portugal Form, constructed by Duarte et al. (2012)., The CAAS—Portugal HE Form retains the format of the 24 items presented in the CAAS-International Form because higher factor loadings and fit indices were obtained with this version. The total score for the CAAS—International Form has a reported reliability of .92, while the subscale scores are .83 for concern, .74 for control, .79 for curiosity and .85 for confidence (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012). The reliabilities of the CAAS-Portuguese HE Form and subscales are very similar to the total international sample. The total score of this scale is .92, which is higher than the subscale scores of concern (.81), control (.78), curiosity (.84) and confidence (.86).
