Factorial Structure of the Frugality Scale: Exploratory Evidence

Abstract This article aims to promote an investigation of the psychometric properties of Frugality Scale adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Frugality is characterized by using and consuming goods in a resourceful way, fully exploring its durability as well. To this end, 626 people responded to an online form that contained the frugality scale. Procedures such as non-graphical solutions to the scree plot, exploratory graphical analysis and a Schmid-Leiman factor solution point to evidence that the scale’s structure is not one-dimensional but two-dimensional. Finally, modeling strategies also indicate that a bifactor solution can be applied.
