This study aimed to validate the Portuguese version of the School Liking and Avoidance Questionnaire (SLAQ) for children and parents. This scale pretends to evaluate the degree to which the child likes school and avoids school from the perspective of the child and parents. The sample consists of 394 students, from the 2nd to the 4th grade, and their parents. In the children's version, confirmatory factor analysis reveals an equivalent structure to the original two-factor version (School Liking and School Avoidance) and a high internal consistency. In the parent version, there was no adequate fit between the data and the original two-factor structure. From the exploratory factor analysis, a more appropriate adjustment of a three-factor model of the parent version (School Liking; School Avoidance; Communication about School) emerged, with good levels of internal consistency.

Palabras clave : SLAQ; school affective involvement; school children; psychometric studies.
