Abstract

Studies on prediction recognize the presence of a large number of predictors of school-academic performance, as well as the existence of well-established predictors, nevertheless some psychoeducational variables remain little explored, even though their great potential. One of these is reflective thinking. The Laboratory for Research on Cognitive Architecture (LAICO) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais brought forth a contribution to reflective thinking. This is the development of the Interest Scale on Reflective Thinking which measures the interest of people in thinking reflectively. In this paper we present the Interest Scale on Reflective Thinking where it is shown in detail its structure and content. We also show evidence of structural validity, external validity and reliability of the scale.
