Resumo

O sadismo retrata comportamentos de agressão, indiferença e prazer ao causar sofrimento em outros indivíduos. Ainda não existe consenso na literatura psiquiátrica sobre se deve ser considerado um transtorno ou apenas um aspecto subclínico. O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar para o português brasileiro a Short Sadistic Impulse Scale (SSIS), bem como buscar evidências de validade baseadas na estrutura interna. Compuseram a amostra 478 participantes, de 18 a 63 anos (M = 23,05; DP = 6,22), que responderam a um questionário demográfico e à escala traduzida. Na primeira etapa, realizou-se o processo de adaptação cultural e, na segunda, buscou-se evidências de validade. Modelagens por equações estruturais exploratórias indicaram que a Escala Reduzida de Impulso Sádico (ERIS) manteve a unidimensionalidade original. Mulheres apresentaram maior sadismo. A ERIS se mostra adequada para aplicações na população geral e capaz de captar as especificidades do sadismo.
