Abstract The aim of the present study was to adapt the LONG Dispositional Flow Scale–General (DFS-2 General) to Brazilian Portuguese and assess evidence of the instrument’s validity. The DFS-2 General is an instrument for measuring flow in general contexts. The study was divided into two phases. The first involved translation and cultural adaptation of the DFS-2. The second entailed conducting an empirical study to assess evidence of construct and convergent validity, as well as internal consistency. The sample consisted of 310 adults (77.4% female) between the ages of 18 and 63 (M = 30.7 SD = 9.2). Based on the parameters of Jackson et al. (2010), we performed confirmatory factor analysis of two models: one with nine first-order factors, and the other with one second-order Flow factor and the same nine first-order factors. A new six-factor model, also with one second-order Flow factor, was proposed. The DFS-2 General presented adequate psychometric properties, indicating its suitability for assessing flow at work within the Brazilian context. The results revealed significant positive correlations between flow and both satisfaction with life and positive affects, as well as a significant negative correlation between flow and negative affects. Significant negative correlations between flow and stress were also found.

Resumen El objetivo del presente estudio fue adaptar la Escala de Flujo de Disposición LARGA DFS-2 - General al portugués brasileño e investigar las evidencias de validez del instrumento. El DFS-2 General es un instrumento para medir el flujo en contextos generales. El primer paso fue el proceso de traducción y adaptación cultural. La segunda fue la conducción de un estudio empírico para investigar algunas evidencias de validez constructiva y convergente, así como la consistencia interna. La muestra incluyó a 310 adultos (77.4% mujeres), de 18 a 63 años de edad (M = 30.7 SD = 9.2). Se presentaron los parámetros de análisis factorial confirmatorio del modelo de Jackson et al. (2010) con nueve factores de primer orden y con un factor de flujo de segundo orden con los mismos nueve factores de primer orden. Se informó un nuevo modelo propuesto con seis factores, también con un factor de flujo de segundo orden. El DFS-2 general presentó las propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, lo que sugiere su utilidad para ev
